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.

Hermitage clinic for disabled patients set to close, cites loss of funding

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
