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.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
