Officials are investigating a fatal boating accident in Tennessee. Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency spokesman Matthew Cameron says two men were fishing below the Fort Loudoun Dam on Sunday morning when their boat’s engine failed to start. The boat was then pulled into the dam’s spillway. The Knoxville News Sentinel reports a rescue team found the body of 50-year-old David Morris of Clinton, about three-fourths of a mile downstream. Bystanders rescued the other boater, who was treated at a hospital and released.
