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.
