We now know the victim of a drowning investigation in Lake George over the weekend.

State police say 27-year-old Kumar Hemant of California was found unresponsive around 20 feet below the surface.
This was in the area of West Dollar Island in Bolton Saturday afternoon.
They say they immediately started life-saving measures and Hemant was taken to the hospital before he was declared dead.
