Bledsoe County, Tenn.A missing 49-year-old Crossville, Tenn., man was found dead Tuesday morning at Fall Creek Falls State Resort Park, west of Pikeville, Tenn.
On Monday, Martin Jimenez Gonzales and his family had been swimming in the area of the falls behind the park’s Nature Center when he disappeared, according to Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation spokeswoman Kelly Brockman.
“This is just a sad situation just a family trying out to cool off,” Brockman said Thursday.
“Since no one actually saw him go under, an autopsy is being performed to see if he had drowned or maybe fallen and hit his head on the rocks,” Brockman said.
No foul play is suspected, she said.
