A 32-year-old Goose Creek man died Friday night in a drowning on Lake Murray.

David W. Woods was visiting 532 Harbor Heights Drive in Lexington when he fell off the dock at approximately 11 p.m. Friday and didn't surface, according to Lexington County Coroner Harry O. Harman.

Woods' body was retrieved from the water by friends, according to Harman. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The accident is under investigation by the Lexington County Coroner’s Office and the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department.
