NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A 17-year-old died after jumping from a cliff at the Bellevue Quarry on Sunday evening, according to Metro Nashville police.
Police and the Nashville Fire Department responded to the quarry at 7848 McCrory Lane after receiving a call at 5:55 p.m.
Witnesses told police Evan Marsch, of Spring Hill, jumped from the cliff with them. When they resurfaced, they noticed Marsch was unresponsive and tried to bring him to shore, police said.
Marsch sank and did not resurface. The Nashville Fire Department recovered his body at 6:50 p.m.
Police said Marsch was at the quarry with three friends: an 18-year-old from Chapel Hill, a 17-year-old from Lawrenceburg and a 15-year-old from Spring Hill.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
