A 60-year-old Tennessee man died Sunday while fishing on Kentucky Lake.

Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency officers responded to a call around 11:15 a.m. for an unoccupied boat on Kentucky Lake where they discovered a bass boat owned by Daniel E. Keeling.

Keeling, a Humbolt, Tenn., resident was recovered from the lake a few hours after officers found his boat near the West Sandy portion of the lake.

Keeling was not wearing a life jacket. Local agencies assisting were the Henry County Sheriff's office and the Henry County Rescue Squad.

The incident is the 10th boating-relating fatality on Tennessee waters in 2022.
