John Tyler Pickerell has been missing since his kayak flipped in Lake Cumberland Wednesday night. Crews searching for him found his body Friday morning in Pulaski County.Crews who have spent the past two days searching for a missing teen have found his body.

They made the discovery Friday morning in Lake Cumberland, in Pulaski County, where 18-year-old John Tyler Pickerell disappeared Wednesday night while kayaking.

Pickerell's body was spotted more than a hundred feet underwater. Crews are now trying to figure out how to bring his body back to the surface.

A second dive team is now en route to the scene because the first team was unable to get to the body.

The second team is from Casey County. We've been told the first team cannot dive again for another 24 hours.

Pickerell's family and friends are also at the scene.

Pickerell was a senior at Southwestern High School. where he was a member of the football team and was supposed to graduate next month.

Sad news to hear. At least this family has some closure now. I am sure they would have rather found him alive, but at least they can begin to put the pieces back together.
