A Hamilton County man drowned Saturday afternoon while loading his boat at Chickamauga Lake in Chattanooga. Witnesses say the boat was being pushed by high winds. The 42-year-old man got out of his truck and was trying to keep the vessel off the rocks near the docks when he went down. His body was found a short time later in about four feet of water. His name was not immediately released pending notification of family. His death marks the 26th boating related fatality this year in Tennessee.
