Crews recovered the body of a 23-year-old Pleasant View man from inside a cave in Cheatham County.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation was called to Cheatham County where the body of 23-year-old RJ Manley was located Wednesday.
His father told NewsChannel 5 Manley had a two-year-old son.
Manley had been missing since Sunday, and was last seen around the cave. His father was searching for him in the cave Wednesday morning when he found Manley's body.

Sheriff's officials said the body was submerged in water.
Sgt. Dale Smith called the scene "complex," which is why multiple agencies were called to the location. It's unclear at this point if the incident is a criminal investigation.
The body was recovered around 3 p.m. Crews brought out kayaks and a stretcher for the recovery effort.
