Tyler Morgan, 23, was working as a deckhand for PTL Marine on the Ohio River on March 3, 2022, when the 26-foot crew boat he was operating capsized while moored several miles upstream from the Wickliffe boat ramp near the Ohio–Mississippi confluence. Morgan was the only person aboard; witnesses and the motor vessel Luke Burton reported a man overboard at Mile 981 of the Ohio River. Responders from the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, Ballard County and McCracken County agencies, and the Coast Guard mounted an immediate search while the river was above flood stage and the boat was later recovered with crane assistance. Reports say he was wearing a personal flotation device that was not zipped or buckled.

Despite several days of searches by officials and volunteers, Morgan was never found and his body was not recovered. An obituary lists his cause of death as a work accident. The river conditions complicated recovery and left the family without closure.

Does anyone have information about that stretch of the river or the incident that could help fill in what happened?
