The TWRA has released the names of the two boaters killed in an accident early Tuesday morning on Lake Barkley in Stewart County.
They were 43-year old Cynthia Taylor and 47-year old Michael Mabes—both of Woodlawn in Montgomery County.
Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency officers responded to a call about a capsized boat near the upper end of the Cumberland City Island near river mile 104 at approximately 2:30 a.m.
Officials say the victims were not wearing a life jacket.
Both victims were pronounced dead at the scene.
Eight people have died in boating accidents in Tennessee already this year.
