Tragic Accident: Woman Plunges to Death in Hidden Well Shaft

An 83-year-old woman tragically fell to her death after the rotting floorboards of a century-old South Carolina house gave way, revealing a hidden well shaft that the owner was unaware of. It took rescuers nearly four hours to retrieve her body from the 50-foot deep hole. The woman was helping her daughter move out of the house when the accident occurred. The coroner declared the death an accident, stating that he had never encountered a similar incident in his 31 years of service.
