NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The bodies of a father and son have been pulled from the Tennessee River on the Perry County side. It was Michael Ryan Tucker and Michael Allen Tucker.

Officials say the two people fell into the river while they were fishing.

Sky 5 flew over the Tennessee River this afternoon. Watch in the player above.

The child was found just after daybreak on Wednesday near a work area along the Tennessee River.

They don't believe that this is tied to any ongoing missing persons cases.

A GoFundMe has been created to assist with the Tuckers' funeral expenses.

We will update as more information comes in.

Show gives people with intellectual disabilities chance to take spotlight

“Here’s another example of a small non-profit doing so much good in our community! Forrest Sanders highlights the group Friends Life Community, which provides adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities a chance to express themselves through art. In this case, original stage performances! Registered drama therapist Sarah Edwards guides the performers, including Mary Margaret, as they express themselves through written words and dance movements. The original show is touring and have a date set this September at TPAC!”
