KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Crews recovered a body from Fort Loudoun Lake Sunday afternoon.
Someone spotted it floating near the Alcoa Highway bridge just before 1:00 p.m. in downtown Knoxville and called police.
Officers say the body is that of a black man, and that it appears to have been in the river for several days.
Members of the Knox County Rescue Squad say this year, has been busier than normal for water incidents.
The assistant chief of operations told WVLT the rescue squad has run twelve water responses in the past four to six weeks and Sunday's discovery is the eighth body to be recovered.
Investigators believe the body may be that of the man who jumped from the Henley Street Bridge on Thursday.
An autopsy has been ordered.
