SPENCER, Tenn. (WTVF) — Tennessee State Parks confirmed Wednesday that a man died this week at Fall Creek Falls.
The state said it couldn't provide the identity of the man because he was a park guest.
It's not clear what happened to the person when he died on Jan. 17.
NewsChannel 5 has reached out to authorities to try to figure out the circumstances of what happened.
I LOVE Forrest's stories on the history of NewsChannel 5 as we celebrate our 70th anniversary. Here's a story I wasn't familiar with until recently. Eudora Boxley had a live cooking show in the early days of the station. She may have been the first black on air at NewsChannel 5 and perhaps, one of the first African Americans to have a TV cooking show anywhere in the country. It wasn't until her grandson reached out to me that I even heard of Ms. Boxley. Thankfully, I was able to connect him with Forest to learn more about this great nugget in NewsChannel 5 history.
