Eastern Ky. Woman Drowns In New Zealand
KENTUCKY....
What began as a fun-filled family recreational rafting trip in New Zealand has turned into tragedy for a Laurel County, Kentucky family. Laurel County Coroner Doug Bowling says he received news Sunday Carolyn Lackey, the wife of London businessman Tom Lackey, had become the victim of a drowning. New Zealand Police Senior Sgt. Stuart Fleming said Lackey, her husband, their son and daughter-in law were on the Mohaka River in New Zealand's North Island when they all fell out of the raft, and, while three family members were carried downstream and managed to scramble ashore, Carolyn Lackey became pinned under a rock and drowned. Her body was recovered, and Bowling Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
