The boys of «fun» thrown from a cliff a heavy beam, but it fell on a photographer who worked at the bottom

The photographer died because of the fallen logs that 2 boys allegedly dropped off a cliff for the sake of entertainment, said the prosecutors working on the case.

The suspects are 16 and 17 years were arrested. They were charged in connection with the death of photographer Victoria Shaffer on September 2 in a state Park Hocking hills in Ohio. Victoria was taking pictures of students for Yearbook, when fell on her beam weighing 33 pounds. The woman died on the spot, where she sat on the stairs of the cave Old Man’s Cave.

Investigators with the Department of natural resources Ohio found that the plank either dropped or pushed off a cliff, as reported in the office of the Prosecutor of the County of Hocking.

After a month while the investigation was in deadlock, the authorities received a tip from an informant who reported that one of the Teens sent a message to the classmate, claiming that he did something «serious» in the Park with another boy, who is now also indicted.

Both Teens are currently charged with negligent homicide, but that investigators continue to get new information, the charges may vary, as stated in the office of the prosecutors. A spokeswoman for the district attorney’s office Hawking said that at the moment they don’t think men there was some evil intent to do so. She said: «At the moment we are charged with negligent homicide, that is, at the moment, we assume that they behaved carelessly. Involuntary manslaughter means that they have committed any act, legal or illegal, which directly resulted in the death of someone. They understood the risks and still went for it.»

Sister Victoria Katie Muth told ABC 6: «We understand that it could be an accident. But it would be really helpful to know exactly to let this go. We are not looking for revenge. We just want to know what happened and we want to prevent that to happen again.»
