Investigators revealed that a family friend who was present at the scene heard Thomas cry out for help and attempted to assist him with a ladder, but unfortunately, it was too late to prevent the tragedy.

Following the incident, one of Thomas's neighbors rushed to the lake with a boat after hearing about the accident. As he entered the water, he noticed that Thomas seemed to have experienced a mild burning sensation on his body, but he didn't immediately realize it was due to an electrical shock. The neighbour then promptly turned off the power box connected to the dock before searching for Thomas.

Bystanders who witnessed the incident stated that Thomas's uncle attempted to administer CPR until medical professionals arrived at the scene. Thomas was quickly transported to the hospital but, tragically, succumbed to his injuries and passed away on Friday.

The true cause of the electrical hazard that led to Thomas Milner's death remains to be investigated, and only time will reveal whether it was a tragic accident or somehow linked to the rumored haunting of Lake Lanier.
