MONTEREY, Tenn. (WTVF) — A 9-year-old boy died Thursday afternoon after falling from Bee Rock, according to the Monterey Police Department.
Police said 911 received a call reporting that an individual had fallen from the area. Emergency personnel responded and descended to where the child was located.
Officers and Putnam County EMS began life-saving measures, but those efforts were unsuccessful. The boy was later brought to the top of Bee Rock and transported by EMS to the State Medical Examiner’s Office.
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.”
