A man drowned at Lake Barkley Marina in Trigg County Saturday afternoon.
The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife says a woman fell into the water while trying to dock a pontoon boat at Dock 1 and 67-year-old Ralph Willis of Utica jumped into the water and helped the woman onto the dock.
He then went under and did not resurface.
Trigg County Rescue crews assisted conservation officers and others and Willis’ body was recovered about three hours later just before 8 p.m.
Officials say Willis was not wearing a life jacket and he is the 14th water-related death in Western Kentucky this year.
