Kentucky Fish and Wildlife authorities have identified the man who drowned Sunday afternoon at Green River Lake, near Campbellsville.

Officials said 18-year-old Tariq Armour, of Cox’s Creek, in Nelson County, drowned at the lake after he went under water and never resurfaced. Reports indicate Armour was in the water with a group people who were swimming from one side of the lake to the other, when Armour went under at approximately 5:00 Sunday night local time.

Witnessed notified authorities, with multiple agencies conducting a search that lasted several hours before Armour’s body was located Monday morning just before noon.

Armour was a star running back at Bardstown High School. He graduated in May and was scheduled to begin classes and play football at Georgetown College in the coming weeks.
