Sad To Hear

A hiker dies in Tennessee.

A hiking trip at the Old Stone Fort State Park turned into a tragedy Wednesday.

According to Investigator Danny Ferrell of the Coffee County Sheriff’s Department, a 47-year old man was walking with his girlfriend around 5 p.m. They came upon the Big Falls area of the park, where the man apparently slowed down.

fter being reassured that he was OK, his girlfriend walked ahead of him, only to hear a splash a few minutes later. She discovered he fell into the water, tried to remove him, and called 911.

My condolences to his friends and family.
