DENHAM SPRINGS - One person is dead after a drowning at Tiki Tubing on Saturday morning.
Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office said the incident happened around 11 a.m. when 52-year-old Elson Johnson Jr. got out of his tube by the launch site.
Deputies said Johnson Jr. was in waist-deep water when he slipped and was unable to resurface.
A homeowner who lives near the drowning location says the business is a danger to the community. She didn't want to be identified because of possible backlash from the owner of Tiki Tubing.
