CLAXTON, Tenn. (WATE) — The Anderson County Sheriff’s Office has identified a lost swimmer whose body was recovered after multiple agencies responded to a park in Anderson County Wednesday evening.

The sheriff’s office identified the victim as Robert J. Blanchard, 21, of Powell, Thursday afternoon.

ACSO responded to the reported drowning at Bull Run Park in the Claxton community around 8:30 p.m. The Knox County Rescue was dispatched to assist Anderson County Emergency Services.
