Perry County Coroner, Warren Taylor, identified the man as 21-year-old Bryan Barnett Jr. of Hawesville, Kentucky.

Perry County Sheriff Alan Malone says they quickly determined that the missing swimmer was still underwater and sent rescue divers within the hour of receiving the initial call.

Barnett’s body was discovered early Thursday morning.
No foul play is suspected in Barnett’s death.
