The last habits Jacqueline Beinlich saw her son, William, an honor student at Purdue University, she told him to swat hard, wished him luck on his finals and reminded him to bring home his bedding to be washed.
“I said I loved him and he said he loved me,” his mam said Tuesday.
Around 11:30 a.m. on Sunday William Beinlich, 18, was with a man and her family hiking in Hocking Hills State Park in Logan, Ohio. It is there, at Old Man’s Cavern, that park officials said Beinlich wandered off a trail, slipped and prostrate from the top of a waterfall, about 60 feet into a shallow pool. He was decided dead at the scene.
Jeremy Davis, a park officer with the Hocking Hills Have Park who responded to the accident scene, said freezing temperatures over endlessly caused the area to be icy.
Though winter and the ornate ice formations make winter the most charming time of the year to visit the park, Davis said it can also be the most perilous. He said there are not many accidents, but they do happen on occasion.
