Boating accident: Son of country singer Craig Morgan dead
WAVERLY, Tenn. — The 19-year-old son of country music singer Craig Morgan has been found dead after what authorities described as a weekend boating accident along the Tennessee River basin, Morgan’s publicist has said in a statement.
Publicist Cindy Hunt said in the statement late Monday that the Humphreys County Sheriff’s Department in Tennessee recovered the body of the teen, Jerry Greer, on Monday evening in an area called Kentucky Lake in northwestern Tennessee. The search for the recent high school graduate had begun Sunday after the accident.
“The family is grateful for the outpouring of support and requests prayers at this time as they privately mourn this terrible loss,” said the statement released by Hunt on behalf of Morgan and his wife, Karen Greer.
It said funeral arrangements are pending.
