Lincoln County officials responded to a possible drowning around 9 p.m. ET Thursday.
Bystanders recovered the bodies of the two boys while officers used sonar equipment to locate the older sister.
The eldest sibling has been identified as Raven Powell while the two boys have been identified as Mason Powell (4) and Sawyer Powell (3).
The coroner’s office confirmed the siblings died sometime after 5 p.m.


“They were our world. They mean everything to us,” Hannah Redfern, the siblings’ cousin, told WRDW.
The family said the boys were excited to take their sister on a trip to the lake and never knew these would be the three’s final moments.
A heartbreaking final video of Mason and Sawyer playing shows the two children in life jackets by the water and raises more questions about their tragic deaths.
“There are no words to describe it other than horrific,” Redfern said.
“It’s crazy how it happened in the blink of an eye.”
All three bodies are sent to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Crime Lab.
GBI officials said they had not ruled out third-party negligence in their investigation.
“We have not ruled anything out at this point as hopefully the autopsy will provide us with more information as well as the interviews and other investigative leads that we follow,” said GBI’s Pat Morgan.
Family members said the boys were playful and very affectionate children.
“I have this video of me just laying on the couch with both of the guys,” Redfern said.
“By the end of the video, they both grabbed my face and kissed me, and Sawyer had just learned to say ‘I love you.’ He said ‘I love you’.


“You are at peace now.”
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources is investigating the incident along with the Sheriff’s Office and the GBI.
