A 26-year-old Utah woman died after she fell 75-100 feet while hiking in Sevier County, according to police.

| March 28, 2022, 1:41 p.m.

Candice Thompson, of Richfield, was hiking with her husband near an area known as the Bulls Head when she fell, according to the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office. Her husband called 911 “while running to try to get her,” police said. Richfield City police officers and an off-duty sheriff’s deputy performed life-saving measures until EMTs and members of the search-and-rescue team arrived. According to a news release from the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office, rescuers “were not able to get Candice’s vitals stable enough” to transport her in a medical helicopter that arrived at the site of her fall, so she was taken by ambulance to the Sevier Valley Hospital. Thompson died a short time later.

The sheriff’s office is investigating, but according to its release “evidence at the scene indicates the fall was an accident and foul play is not suspected.”

Gordon Monson: Utah Legislature played a political game while transgender athletes sufferedThe Utah Way too often becomes the way of protecting those who already are in power and kicking aside those who could use more representation and a little help, Tribune columnist Gordon Monson writes. Separate competition for Mormon girls Monson is just the worst. And I don’t know why this pops up in my feed. I don’t subscribe, like or want anything to do with the trib Just because a bunch of supposed 'adults' can't manage to learn about an issue that makes them feel 'icky' let's pass a law that targets little kids that have an enormous suicide rate. Only 4 trans kids in school sports. Grow up little boys and girls b/c your parents can't.

Gordon Monson: The Utah Legislature played a game while transgender youths suffer'The most frightening thing of all comes from the folks who claim the Legislature was merely representing the will of the people here with that ban. I love Utah, but, good lord, this can be at times an awful weird, harsh, bullying place,' writes Monson. Utah prevailed on this issue. SANITY overroad STUPIDITY. Thank You Utah Legislature for the override. I love how on one side 'only 1 high school athlete qualifies' but also so many trans athletes will commit suicide over this? Who is female? And if we can't answer that, then why do we have girls and boys on different teams anyway?

Why Utah Legislature should not follow U.S. Senate in judicial candidate review, Editorial Board writesEditorial Board: When state lawmakers consider nominations for two seats on the Utah Supreme Court, they should give them a respectful consideration — instead of just trying to get on camera, like Republicans on the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. Utah’s senator Lee prancing and dancing doing the pander shuffle for their hateful base appealing to the worst in humanity. Patbagley If there was ever an example of why CRT should be covered in our public educational system, the GOP senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee just gave it. Apparently the didn’t watch the Kavanaugh hearings. 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻 enemyofthepeople
