Stephen "Kyle" Anderson, his family, and friends gathered at the Spring Hill Smithville's Center Hill Lake for his 36th birthday celebration, but things went into a spiral, and it turned into a tragic occasion.

Anderson was said to have been trying to jump into the lake as he stood by the cliff. However, the bluff beneath him gave way, and he plunged unprepared down the lake.
