Hank Carroll, 27, was found Saturday afternoon after a search by the rescue squad, Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency officials and Tims Ford State Park rangers. He drowned Saturday morning.

TWRA officials said water came over the bow of the 14-foot aluminum boat occupied by Carroll and two other men, causing it to capsize.

Boaters who witnessed the accident rescued the other men, whose names have not been released by authorities.

TWRA spokesman Doug Markham said it appeared that none of the men were wearing life jackets.
