A 21-year-old Lebanon man is dead after he was thrown from a boat on Old Hickory Lake over the weekend.

Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency officers were called to the lake Sunday at about 6 p.m.

Keaton Mills went into the water when the driver crossed a wake, according to a statement from the agency.

"The operator immediatly went to his aid, tossing a throw cushion and jumping in to assist him," the agency said.

Mills was pulled to a nearby boat and someone began CPR. An ambulance took him to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, the agency said.

Mills' death is the seventh boating-related fatality on Tennessee waterways and the second death on Old Hickory Lake this year.
