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.

The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
