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.

We will update as more information comes in.

Fundraising underway for Tina Turner statue to be placed in Brownsville park

Fundraising efforts are underway in Brownsville and Nutbush, TN to build a statue for a major superstar who was raised there, Anna Mae Bullock. You probably know her by her stage name, Tina Turner. I was a huge fan of Tina and glad to see efforts are underway to showcase more of her ties to West Tennessee.
