A 3-year-old child died when she went over a waterfall on the border of North and South Carolina. Nevaeh Jade Newswanger and her family were visiting Whitewater Falls on Sunday morning when she was swept away in the water at the top of the falls and the current carried her over, according to a press release from the Jackson County Sheriff's Office.
Emergency responders from multiple counties were dispatched to the falls and rescue operations began. By just before nightfall, rescuers located the child, who was deceased and trapped in an area of the waterfall. Her body was recovered on Monday after operations throughout the night and early morning.
The family is from Pennsylvania but is living in Oconee County, South Carolina, while working in the area.
