A 13-year-old boy walking along a road in Lebanon, Tenn., drowned when he slipped off an embankment and fell into a rock quarry below. The victim’s brother and friend tried to throw a rope to the boy, but couldn’t save him. Divers came out and pulled the boy from the water, which was about 10 feet deep. He was flown to Vanderbilt and died a short time later. (Source: WTVF-TV Nashville)
