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.
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.
