SOMERSET, Ky. (AP) - Officials in southern Kentucky say they have pulled a man's body from lake Cumberland.

The Pulaski County coroner told WKYT-TV (http://bit.ly/V1HxFg) that a fisherman found the body Sunday afternoon and called authorities. The coroner says the death appears accidental, but it is early in the investigation.

Officials say an autopsy will be done in Frankfort in an effort to identify the body and determine the cause of death.
