A 25-year-old man from Simpsonville drowned Monday in Lake Keowee around 5:20pm. Rescue workers from both Oconee and Pickens Counties were called to the scene near Falls Creek Landing and recovered the body in 10 feet of water near 6:00pm. Officials on the scene say the man went under after he became tired from swimming and that alcohol was a factor.
