Three young men entered the Garbage Pit entrance to Sloans Valley Cave,
Pulaski County, south eastern KY. Each had one flashlight. They did not have
helmets or gloves. They were wearing tennis shoes. The party proceeded about
1000 ft. into the cave. At that point the victim attempted a difficult
climb. It is speculated that he fell while holding the flashlight in one
hand. The deceased probably fell head first. The rescue unit from Somerset,
KY responded plus one rescuer, a caver, came from the Monticello rescue
unit.
Again, our condolences to the family and friends.

Today a young man died in Sloan Valley Cave in eastern KY. Slipped and
fell down a 30 ft. pit. Some eastern KY NSS members helped in the body
recovery.
Our condolences to the family and friends of the young man.
