On Saturday April 29th, 2023 we recieved a call of a two vessel collision with a missing kayaker on J Percy Priest Reservoir. The closest ramp was Hamilton Creek upper ramp. On scene we interviewed two witness'' and the operator and two occupants of the fishing vessel involved in the collision. Based on information we recieved from the parties involved we concluded that the fishing vessel did not see the kayaker, hit the kayaker, caused them to go in the water, and they did not resurface. The kayak was occupied one time. Because of the cooperation from the witness'' and the occupants of the fishing vessel, we had a good place to begin looking for the missing kayaker. We started side scanning the area and discovered a likely target. We deployed our ROV and found the deceased kayaker. Metro OEM recovered her body at that time.  There was trauma to the right side rear of her head. She was not wearing a life jacket. Next of kin has been notified.
