Plymouth Man Drowns In Tennessee
The 30-year-old man drowned in a lake northeast of Knoxville on Saturday.
PLYMOUTH, MI — A 30-year-old Plymouth man died Saturday. Andrew Ehrman drowned in Tennessee at Cherokee Lake, according to a Detroit News report. His body was recovered by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.
“Agency spokesman Doug Markham said Ehrman and some friends were swimming in the east Tennessee lake on Friday evening. Sgt. Roy Smith said the group decided to swim back to their pontoon boat because high winds were making it unsafe for swimming.”
“Three swimmers made it back to the boat and climbed aboard. Smith said “Ehrman could not get back and disappeared below the surface.”
