Sevierville, TN (WVLT) The Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Administration (TOSHA) has opened an investigation after a lifeguard at Sevierville’s Resort at Governor’s Crossing drowned late last month.
Chris Cannon, the state labor and workforce development department chief communications officer, told WVLT News Friday that TOSHA was trying to determine whether or not the workplace contributed to the death of 21-year-old Colden Riner.
“TOSHA has opened an investigation to determine whether workplace conditions caused the death or if it was a personal medical condition,” Cannon said. “This will necessitate waiting for the medical examiner’s report, which could take several months.”
Police said Riner fell into a pool and became unresponsive. They’re still investigating.
