Fourth drowning of '08 at Allatoona

Authorities report another drowning at Lake Allatoona in north Georgia. 18-year-old Miguel Ramos from Athens became the fourth person to drown in Allatoona this year. In May, two students from Marietta drowned at the lake, followed by a 17-year-old Bartow County boy who drowned late last month. Authorities say the latest victim was a good swimmer who tried to swim from one side of a cove to another. All four victims this year have drowned in coves within Red Top Mountain State Park.
