Coroner identifies diver lost during power plant inspection

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky officials have identified a diver who drowned while inspecting pipes in the Ohio River at an LG&E power plant on Thursday. A news release from the The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office says 19-year-old Jaxxyn Lee Wood, of Owensboro, died at 1:03 p.m. That’s when emergency officials say they were called after Wood’s onshore support lost contact with him. He had been inspecting one of the intake pipes and screens. The accident occurred at LG&E’s Mill Creek Generation Station in southwestern Louisville. That’s the utility’s largest coal-fired power plant.
