Tellico Village FD “Reasonably Confident” Body Found Is Missing TN Swimmer Michael Carnock

Tellico Village Fire and Rescue say they are “reasonably confident” that a body they located on the shore of Tellico Lake, TN., is that of Michael Carnock.

Carnock, 55, was reported missing weeks ago after going swimming on May 15 and never resurfacing.

After weeks of searching, authorities believe they have found the body of a missing Maryland man that disappeared while swimming at the Tellico Lake. Authorities said the body was found floating near a shoreline wearing a wet suit and will need to positively identify it before releasing a final statement on Carnock. source

Carnock was visiting the area with family members when he went missing.

Five vessels were deployed to target areas and another K-9 cadaver search team had been mobilized in the effort.

The initial search and recovery effort ended on May 23, but was restarted again this week.
