ERWIN, Tenn. (AP) -- A northeast Tennessee teenager has died when lumber fell onto her.
The Unicoi County coroner told The Johnson City Press that 14-year-old Jordan Alexis Dwomick was sunbathing in her family's backyard Saturday afternoon when some 2-by-10-foot boards toppled. Coroner Ed Herndon said the Unicoi County High School student was found by her parents.
Herndon said it wasn't clear what caused four of the boards to fall, saying they had been stacked for several years.
The newspaper reported emergency medical services officials said the girl died of a broken neck.
Her funeral will be Thursday evening in the school auditorium.
