HALL COUNTY, Ga. – An Investigation Discovery documentary alleges that a Buford man found in Lake Lanier died from a gunshot wound.
Kelly Nash, 25, went missing in the early morning hours of Jan. 5. He left behind his wallet, phone, ID and truck.
Family and friends launched an extensive search for Nash, offering a reward that grew to more than $50,000.
More than a month later, Nash's body was found by a fisherman in Lake Lanier. At the time, investigators said that they didn't suspect foul play in the death.
On Sunday, Investigation Discovery profiled the case in "Gone in Georgia: A Disappeared Special." The special included interviews with Nash's friends and family.
The final scene alleged that Nash died from a gunshot wound. The filmmakers said the information came from an exclusive statement from the Hall County Sheriff's Office.
The Hall County Sheriff's Office issued this statement to 11Alive on Friday:
As of today, April 10, 2015, The Hall County Sheriff's Office has not received the Medical Examiner's Report concerning the death of Kelly Nash. As soon as the report is received and the victim's family has been notified a press release will be provided detailing the Medical Examiners findings. At this time the case is active and will remain so until all investigative actions have been completed.
