A Scott County man died late Wednesday in a tragic drowning accident.
Daniel “Tommy” Johnson, 23, apparently was fishing by himself at a private lake off of Duvall Station Road near Stamping Ground when he suffered a seizure and fell in, according to Scott County Coroner John Goble.
Johnson was developmentally disabled, Goble said. He was pronounced dead about 9:55 p.m.
According to the Herald-Leader’s reporting partners at WKYT, Johnson lived near the lake.
Funeral arrangements with Tucker, Yocum & Wilson Funeral Home are pending.
