Park officials said the girl was in her family’s tent at the time of the accident.
A falling tree killed a 7-year-old girl on Wednesday at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the park said.
This appears to be the third reported death in the park so far this year. On May 9, Charles Queen, 76, was found. The NPS told local media that there were no obvious signs of foul play in that incident. Her friends told park officials that she'd been kayaking when she got pinned between a fallen tree and the riverbank.
