The Transylvania County Sheriff's Office is investigating the suspicious death of a 12-year-old boy at Trails Carolina Camp, which has not fully cooperated with the investigation. The boy, who had arrived at the camp less than 24 hours before his death, was found unresponsive in a cabin and pronounced dead despite rescue efforts. The forensic pathologist conducting the autopsy indicated that the death did not appear natural, and search warrants have been executed at two camp locations. The staff members assigned to the cabin have been placed on leave, and the investigation is ongoing.
