An investigator with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) says the extreme cold water was “definitely a contributing factor” in a drowning on Chickamauga Lake Tuesday afternoon. The TWRA has identified the victim as 42-year-old Reginald “Reggie” E. Parker, Sr. of Cleveland. Two fishermen were launching a boat at the Eldridge Road/Eldridge Slough Tuesday afternoon when their boat slid off the trailer and began to float away. Tahe victim told his partner to build a fire while he went into the water after the boat.
