A 7-year-old Nevada girl died after being struck by a falling boulder at a ski resort on Saturday, officials said.
Adelyn Grimes, from Reno, Nev., was identified by the Washoe County Regional Medical Examiner’s Office after the incident at Diamond Peak Ski Resort in Incline Village, just miles from the shores of Lake Tahoe.
“The unexpected death of a child is an unimaginable loss that no one could prepare for,” Grime’s aunt, Sabina Grimes, wrote in a GoFundMe. “Our beloved brother and sister have suffered a significant loss with the recent passing of their precious daughter Addie.”
They noted that they believe that there is no foul play involved.
