Woman Dies at Hocking Hills

LOGAN, Ohio (WTVN)--A woman's death at Hocking Hills over the weekend is the third such death in the park in recent weeks.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources says Victoria Schafer of Chillicothe was on a walkway in Old Man's Cave Monday, when a tree branch fell on her.

It follows the death of a man nine days ago, with that victim falling off of a cliff after leaving the trail.

A woman's body was also recovered earlier this summer at Conkle's Hollow.

ODNR officials urge visitors to stay on the posted trails and follow all park safety instructions.
