Jackson son-in-law dies following boating accident
Ben Selecman, 28 suffered "severe injuries during a boating accident," according to the Nashville District Attorney's Office, where he was an assistant DA.

The Davidson Country DA said in a statement: "The District Attorney's Office is saddened to announce the passing of Assistant DA Ben Selecman. General Selecman suffered severe injuries during a boating accident and passed away on September 12. He was 28-years-old. District Attorney Glenn Funk said the DA's Office is thankful for every day that Ben had the opportunity to serve the people of Davidson County. Our prayers are with Ben's family. He will be truly missed."
The accident reportedly happened in early September in West Palm Beach, Fla.
