A body believed to be that of a man who died nearly four months ago in a boating accident on Smith Mountain Lake was recovered in the lake Thursday, authorities said.

Officials from the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries believe that they recovered the body of David Reynolds, 44, of Grottoes, but the medical examiner's office in Roanoke has not positively identified the remains.
 
Reynolds had been missing since an April 4 boating accident that killed Richard Smith, 64, of Moneta. Two other men were rescued. Virginia game officials said the 33-foot wooden Hacker Craft overturned in the "S Curve" near channel marker R-17 as a result of high winds and a malfunction in the cooling system.

The body was found near the site of the accident.
