A Macon man drowned at Lake Tobesofkee after saving three children in the water, that's according to Sgt. Sean Defoe with the Bibb County Sheriff's Office.  

The body of 24 year old Michael Dewayne Jones was found in the lake Saturday evening around 8 p.m.

Coroner Leon Jones says Michael Dewayne Jones was a Macon-Bibb County firefighter.  The coroner says Jones has been on working with the department for about two weeks.
