TATEVILLE, Ky. — A man slipped into a deep pit and was killed Wednesday while exploring a treacherous southeastern Kentucky cave, officials said.
Crews worked for hours to recover the body of Steven Troxell, 21, who died of blunt- force trauma, said Pulaski County Coroner Richard New.
Troxell and two companions were walking inside the Sloans Valley cave when he fell into the cone-shaped, 30-foot-deep pit. The opening to the cave is on private property.
