MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) Police are investigating the drowning of an 18-year-old man who disappeared under water while swimming with family and friends in the Chattahoochee River.

Cobb County police say Adil Chowdhury of Atlanta was swimming in an area of the river known as ``Diving Rock'' near Atlanta's northwest edge when he went under shortly before 6 p.m. Wednesday.

Scuba divers and crews from the Atlanta and Cobb County fire departments began a search, and Chowdhury's body was recovered later Wednesday night.
