POLK CO., TN (WRCB) -- The body of a man who drowned with his son and daughter on Conasauga Creek in January was found Friday by searchers.

The body was identified as Nick Alley, 36.

The family was canoeing January 16 when their canoe tipped over, dumping them into the rain-swollen waters of Conasauga Creek.

The body of 6-year-old Lazarus Alley was found January 24, some eight days after the accident. His sister, 7-year-old Helana Alley was found January 29.

Three other family members in the canoe were able to safely swim to the shore.
