Nashville Woman Dies after falling from Grundy County Trail

On Monday afternoon at approximately 1pm Grundy County dispatchers received a call from hikers of a female down on the Fiery Gizzard Trail below the Day Loop. South Cumberland Park Rangers, Grundy County Sheriff Clint Shrum and Tracy City Chief Charlie Wilder responded to the scene. Upon arrival, authorities found the body of a deceased white 64-year old female from Nashville, TN. The preliminary investigation appears to show she may have been looking over the edge of the trail when she lost her balance and fell to the bottom.
The body was recovered by Coalmont High Angle Rescue and sent to the medical examiner’s office for an autopsy for further examination.
Sheriff Clint Shrum stated there were no sign of foul play and this appeared to be a tragic accident.
The South Cumberland State Park Rangers will continue working the case.
