Hiker Falls to Her Death on Ohio Cliffs | Columbus News

A heartbreaking hiking tragedy unfolded in Hocking Hills, Ohio, when 63-year-old Nancy Baker from Iowa died after falling from a cliff on May 20th while hiking with her husband. The couple was on the rugged Cantwell Cliffs trail, where deteriorated, muddy stairs and steep embankments contributed to the accident. Nancy, walking beside her husband who used the stairs, tripped, dropped her walking stick, and slid down the slope before falling to her death. The coroner’s report confirmed a fatal neck injury — a posterior atlantoaxial dislocation. Despite being experienced hikers, the trail’s difficulty and hazardous conditions serve as a sobering reminder that even familiar outdoor activities can turn deadly in challenging terrain. The final autopsy report was released Thursday. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
