Nickajack Accident

Anyone know what happened at Bennett Lake on Monday night?
I saw the story scroll across the bottom of Ch 9 news this morning but they never told what happened.

A drowning at the Bennett lake boat launch. Was in the paper, but not a lot of detail.

Thanks for the reply, I found a small article about it on Channel 9 website.

Sounds like the boat slid off the trailer and he swam out to get it and drowned.
So sad and just shows you how quick things can go wrong.
Thoughts and prayers with the family.

Local talking heads said they forgot to screw in drain plug.
