Family Of Drowned Nashville Woman Seeks Answers

SILVER POINT, TN — The family of Aimee McCray, the 35-year-old Nashville woman who drowned in Center Hill Lake over the weekend, is struggling to find answers in her death.

Divers located McCray's body near a boat dock at Hurricane Marina in Dekalb County after a six-hour search Sunday. She was reported missing after her friends couldn't find her on the houseboat they were sharing Sunday morning.

Though the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency ruled her death accidental, her mother, Irene McCray, says something is not adding up, according the Fox 17.

"I don't know what it was, did she accidentally fall? I don't know," she told the station. "I just know my Aimee isn't with me anymore."

"We just know she was on the boat the night before, and when they got up that morning she was not there," TWRA District Boating Officer Dustin Buttram said, according to Fox 17. "She was there that evening, the next morning she wasn't."
