Boating Accident On Fort Loudoun Lake Leaves Two Dead

Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency wildlife officers are investigating a boating incident that resulted in the deaths of two people on Fort Loudoun Lake Saturday afternoon.   According to the TWRA, 70-year-old Terrance Andrew Dea, of Louisville, Tennessee was operating a pontoon boat when he was passed by a personal watercraft operated by 18-year-old Emma Renee Fila, also of Louisville, Tennessee.  A few minutes later, the pontoon came upon the young woman who was face down in the water after she apparently collided with a concrete railroad bridge support.   The elderly man jumped in the water to rescue the young woman but was incapacitated by a medical emergency.  Bystanders on another boat pulled both victims from the water and administered CPR however neither survived.  The woman was wearing a lifejacket and the ignition safety switch lanyard as required by law.  The pontoon boat operator was not wearing a lifejacket.   The incident is still under investigation.
