NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Nashville Fire Department officials say a body was found in the Cumberland River beyond recovery on Sunday afternoon, meaning he was dead when they found him.
The person has been identified as 48-year-old Toby James Douglas.
Someone called 911 to report the body floating along the River — Crews were then sent to the location, and using the What3words app were able to maintain location updates until they found and recovered the body.
