First responders are searching an area of Lake Cumberland in the Slate Branch area for a missing man who was last seen mowing his lawn.
According to Captain Troy McLin of the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office, Dr. Robert S. Supinski, 66, was last seen using a zero-turn riding mower on his property on Lake House Drive.
The property overlooks Lake Cumberland, and officials say it appeared that the mower may have slid over a bluff.
The incident took place around 12:30 p.m. this afternoon.
Rescuers rappelled down the side of the 100-foot cliff looking, but did not find him.
McLin said that members of the Somerset-Pulaski Rescue Squad and the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife had boats in the water, and as of 5:30 p.m. were still searching the water.
