A man is dead after his kayak flipped Sunday morning at a lake in southwest Atlanta, officials said.

Few details on the incident have been provided, but Atlanta Fire Department spokeswoman Alyssa Richardson confirmed that the 34-year-old man’s body was recovered from the lake.

The man was directly behind his home in the 2000 block of Benjamin E. Mays Drive when the kayak overturned, Richardson said. A 911 caller advised about a possible drowning and a rescue effort ensued around 10 a.m.
