The two hikers drowned near a trail after first responders tried to rescue them.
Two people drowned while hiking near a trail in Tennessee on April 28 after a woman fell into a creek and a man attempted to save her. The woman was identified as 23-year-old Greffania Merilus, of Cohutta, Georgia, and the man as 20-year-old Gullson Elve, of Birchwood, Tennessee, according to News Channel 9 in Tennessee. Merilus and Elve, who officials told the news outlet were "close friends," were part of a small hiking group.
FOX News reported that first responders hiked roughly a mile down the trail when they found a woman waiting for them to arrive. A woman told officers she was with a group of three to four people who hiked on the trail to a large creek. One woman in the group attempted to cross the creek but fell and went underwater. FOX News noted that a man from the group then jumped in to save her, but the pair never reappeared. First responders jumped in the water to locate and rescue the man and woman.
