MILTON, Georgia (WUPA) — Milton police say the body believed to be that of Lil Jon’s missing son, Nathan Smith, was recovered Friday from a pond near his home, ending several days of intense searching but leaving questions unanswered. As the search continued without success, investigators widened their efforts to include a pond at nearby Mayfield Park, close to Smith’s residence. On Feb. 6 at about 11:53 a.m., divers with the Cherokee County Fire Department located and recovered a body from the water. Authorities said the individual is believed to be Smith, pending official identification by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office. In a statement, Lil Jon said he and Smith’s mother, Nicole Smith, are “extremely heartbroken” and “devastated” by the news.
