The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency responded to three major incidents on the water in Middle Tennessee over the weekend.
In Hickman County on Saturday, officers responded to a drowning call on the Duck River around 11:30 a.m. A fisherman wading the river reportedly lost his footing and was pinned underwater against a tree.
Authorities said TWRA officers assisted Centerville Fire Fighters, using a jet boat to aid emergency personnel in the recovery.
The Hickman County Sheriff's Office, the agency leading the investigation, identified the man as Ty Osman, age 54.
Then at 12:15 p.m. Saturday, officers responded to a drowning call.
Officers said a man voluntarily jumped from a pontoon boat at Tims Ford Lake near Wiseman Bend in Franklin County and was missing.
A remote operated vehicle was used by TWRA investigators, however standing timber complicated the search, which was suspended after dark.
The search resumed on Sunday and his body was recovered by divers from the Franklin County Rescue Squad. Authorities identified him as Anderson L. Clark III, 48, of Tullahoma.
About 5:15 p.m. that same day on Percy Priest Lake, officers responded to a CPR in progress call at Four Corners Marina boat launch for a man who fell from a pontoon boat. Preliminary findings is that the 77-year-old man had just launched his pontoon boat when the engine would not crank.
The man somehow ended up in the water where he was rescued by bystanders who performed CPR until EMS arrived, TWRA reported.
As of 6 p.m. Saturday, the male was in critical condition at Southern Hills Medical Center, officials said.
