A Hamilton resident died Monday in an apparent boating accident on Lake Cumberland in Kentucky, according to the Russell County Coroner’s Office.

Kenneth Ducklo, 70, died from “multiple blunt force trauma” as a result of a boating accident that occurred shortly after 5 p.m. Monday, a spokesperson with the coroner’s office told this news outlet.

The incident occurred east of Campbell’s Landing in Nancy, Ky.

The fatal accident involved only Ducklo’s boat and appears to be alcohol related, according to the coroner’s office.

There were no other injuries reported, and Ducklo was apparently traveling alone in the boat at the time of the accident, according to a preliminary investigation.
