Candice Thompson, of Richfield, was hiking with her husband near an area known as the Bulls Head when she fell, according to the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office. Her husband called 911 “while running to try to get her,” police said. Richfield City police officers and an off-duty sheriff’s deputy performed life-saving measures until EMTs and members of the search-and-rescue team arrived. According to a news release from the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office, rescuers “were not able to get Candice’s vitals stable enough” to transport her in a medical helicopter that arrived at the site of her fall, so she was taken by ambulance to the Sevier Valley Hospital. Thompson died a short time later.
The sheriff’s office is investigating, but according to its release “evidence at the scene indicates the fall was an accident and foul play is not suspected.”
