LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Kentucky Fish and Wildlife is investigating after a man drowned while swimming in Green River Lake Tuesday according to Campbellsville Fire & Rescue.
Campbellsville Fire & Rescue received a call around 5:23 p.m. of a person drowning near Wilson Creek according to a Facebook Post.
When firefighters arrived around 5:36 p.m. they found the people who called in and the point where the person was last seen according to the post.
Two divers, a public safety diver and a backup, went and did
"search patterns" while a Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Officer used a side scan sonar to guide the divers to the man the post states.
The Taylor County Coroners Office (TCCO) pronounced him dead at the scene. The coroner later identified the man as 37-year-old Jimmy Tungate, Jr.
"This is the second drowning in Taylor County in 3 days," the TCCO wrote. "Please wear a life jacket, know your limits and be cautious of access locations around pools & water edges."
The original post states no rescuers were injured.
