Contract Worker Drowns At Red River Gorge
Eighteen year old Xavier Holley of Edenton, North Carolina drowned Wednesday while swimming with a female friend who saw him disappear beneath the surface of water in the Red River Gorge in Menifee County. The female made it to the bank and yelled for help, which was heard by two hikers who called 911. Search and rescue personnel found the body in 8 ft. to 9 ft. water, 10 to 12 ft. from the bank about 45 minutes later. Holley and the female were contract workers who were helping clear debris from the January ice storm.
