Cumberland County man drowns in local lake
 
Shane Reed, 30, of Stone Loop, became the second 
drowning victim this year in Cumberland County, when 
he and a relative tried to swim across Fox Creek Lake 
Sunday.  Mr Reed was pronounced dead Sunday after 
a vigorous search by rescue workers resulted in finding 
his body in the depths of Fox Creek Lake, located off of 
Peavine Road. Mr. Reed was swimming with his cousin, 
James Kirkland, 29, when they decided to try and swim 
across the lake at around 1 p.m. Reed was fully clothed, 
wearing blue jeans and work boots when they began the 
swim. 
 According to Dep. Bobby Barker's report, when they got 
half-way across the lake, Kirkland looked back and noticed 
he did not see Reed anywhere. Kirkland searched the area 
and, thinking Reed grew tired and returned to the shore, swam 
back and searched the bank for him. After no success, 
Kirkland called for help. The Cumberland County Rescue 
Squad responded to the scene and began dragging the 
lake in efforts to find Reed. Around 20 rescue workers in 
boats poured over the lake during the search. Also on the 
scene were Emergency Management Services personnel 
and officer Bernie Jones. At about 7:15 p.m., Reed's body 
was located by rescue squad member Travis Reeves.
 Officials said there were no suspicious markings or wounds 
and that the drowning was apparently accidental, but routine 
follow-up investigations will be made by the Cumberland 
County Sheriff's Department and Inv. Brad Nealon.
