Eddyville toddler drowns in Tennessee

The toddler who drowned Sunday at Cummins Fall State Park in Tennessee was from Lyon County.

WKRN TV cites sources in Jackson County, Tennessee in identifying the boy as 2-year old Steven Pierce of Eddyville.

His body was recovered from the water about 6 a.m. Monday. The TV station quotes Jackson County officials as saying a large rush of water left a large number of park-goers stranded at and in the water.

At least 50 victims were escorted out under their own power while 13 were rescued by swift water teams.

Officials said 63 total people were saved from the water, including the boy’s parents.
