PARIS, Tenn. (AP) -- A man who died while fishing on Kentucky Lake is Tennessee's 10th boating-related fatality so far this year, officials said.

Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency officers responded to a call about an unoccupied boat on the lake in Henry County on Sunday. Officers found a bass boat owned by Daniel E. Keeling, 60, near the West Sandy portion of the lake, the agency said.

The body of Keeling, of Humboldt, was found a few hours later, the agency said. He was not wearing a life jacket.

Nine other people have died in boating-related incidents in state waters this year, the agency said.
