Two men found dead on boat at Mary Alice Park

PRESS RELEASE

CUMMING, Ga. — Forsyth County Sheriff’s Detectives are investigating what appears to be a tragic accident at Mary Alice Park.

At approximately 11:23 a.m. Saturday (Aug. 9) deputies responded to Mary Alice Park in reference to two deceased males on a boat. Upon arrival deputies learned that three family members went out on their boat Friday evening to spend the night on the boat at an island on Lake Lanier.

The deceased have been identified as Scott Landeck, 22, and Brian Landeck, 31, both of Cumming.
When family members arrived Saturday the two men were unresponsive. Family members towed the boat to Mary Alice Park. A third male was disoriented, he was taken to a local hospital and is being treated for carbon monoxide exposure.

A generator was located on the boat. Though it was in an area that was not enclosed, the positioning of the generator did not allow the exhaust to exit the boat. Instead it filled the cabin where the men were sleeping.

Please remember when using a generator ensure its positioning allows for the exhaust to dissipate safely away from any occupants. Carbon monoxide is odorless and tasteless.
