A Massachusetts mother fell to her death in front of her three children while the family was hiking at a natural landmark on Wednesday, authorities report per the NY Post.
Carolyn Sanger, 49, a married mother of four, fell between 50 and 75 feet at the Purgatory Chasm State Reservation around 2 p.m. while hiking with her children and other family members, according to Sutton police and local reports. “We believe it was simply a loss of footing and a trip,” family friend Tim Paoli told Boston 25.
Medical professionals who were hiking nearby attempted to assist, but Sanger, from Topsfield, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to authorities. Investigators are examining the area but believe the fall was accidental.
Sanger previously worked as an oncology nurse before transitioning to start her own wellness business, as stated on the fundraising page. “She’s an amazing, amazing human,” her husband, Michael Sanger, told WCVB.
“She was the brightness and the light on a dark day for a lot of people.”
