Body of missing boater found in Lake Hartwell

The body of a missing boater was found this morning in Lake Hartwell.  The deceased is a small town Illinois resident, David Dean.  A DNR officer is quoted as saying there are unanswered questions about the death of David Dean, 69 years old.  A search began from the Georgia side of the lake after a pontoon boat rented by Dean was found abandoned Wednesday near the Hartwell Marina and 30 to 40 feet from the South Carolina side of the lake.  The Georgia DNR’s Craig Fulghum says it’s not clear why Dean was in Georgia and why he rented the boat.
