When they were unable to locate Smith, teams expanded their search to a pond in Mayfield Park near Smith's Milton residence, police said.
At approximately 11:53 a.m. on Friday, divers with the Cherokee County Fire Department located and recovered a body from the pond believed to be Nathan Smith, according to police.
Official confirmation by the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office is pending, police added.
The Milton Police Department noted there was "no indication of foul play," but that the criminal investigations division would "continue to treat this as an open and active investigation."
"No further details will be released until the official cause and manner of death are determined by the Fulton County Medical Examiner and all investigative leads have been thoroughly examined," the department stated.
"We extend our deepest condolences to the Smith family during this difficult time," police added. "The department respectfully asks the community and members of the media to honor the family's request for privacy as they grieve and navigate this tragedy."
A rep for Lil Jon shared a statement from the rapper with ABC News on Friday, saying that he and Smith's mother, Nicole Smith, are "extremely heartbroken for the tragic loss" of their son.
"Nathan was the kindest human being you would ever meet," Lil Jon wrote. "He was immensely caring, thoughtful, polite, passionate, and warmhearted - he loved his family and the friends in his life to the fullest."
He continued, "He was an amazingly talented young man; a music producer, an artist and engineer, and graduate of NYU. We loved Nathan with all of our hearts and are incredibly proud of him. He was loved and appreciated, and in our last times together we're comforted in knowing that we expressed that very sentiment to him."
