The Oconee County Coroner's Office says the 60 year old victim of a boating accident on Lake Keowee Sunday afternoon died of cardiac arrest caused by the loss of blood.

Oconee County rescuers were dispatched to the lake just after 3:30PM. A 9-1-1 caller said the man's leg had been struck by the boat's propeller while he was in the water.


He had been pulled into the boat and brought to the Falls Creek Landing near Salem, but died in the hospital about an hour and half later. The Department of Natural Resources is investigating the accident.
