NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The body of a missing kayaker has been recovered from Percy Priest Lake.
73-year-old Don Slusser from Pittsburgh, PA was a well-known marathoner and he and his wife were camping at Seven Points. They had spent the past two days kayaking.
First responders were called around 8:30 last night after he disappeared as the storm moved through the area.
The Slussers are considered to be world-record holders for most miles run by a married couple at more than 300,000 miles.

Here’s a story offering a great example of how a common cause, and a little creativity, can “intersect” to improve quality of life. Our South Nashville reporter Patsy Montesinos shares how some neighbors decided to take action, following the tragic death of a 77-year-old in a hit-and-run along Antioch Pike earlier this year. See how they used “tactical urbanism” to make the area a little safer for all.
