So so sad! Officials say this beautiful
news anchor fell about 160 feet to her death after being swept over the
top of a waterfall in Transylvania County.
Multiple sources confirmed that
24-year-old Taylor Terrell fell on Thursday from Rainbow Falls. She
would have turned 25 on Friday. What a sad end.
U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Cathy Dowd says she was wading in a creek at the top of Rainbow Falls when she lost her footing on rocks covered in algae. The swift current swept her over the Falls.

Taylor Terrell, a CBS affiliate WMAZ reports, was an avid hiker and had taken Friday off from work.
She was an anchor at WMGT in Macon,
Georgia, where colleagues say she started in August 2013 as a reporter
before being promoted to anchor.
News director Brandon Long said in a
statement: “Taylor was a hard worker with a bright smile. She rose
through the ranks from intern to reporter, to weekend anchor, to morning
anchor and was eager to prepare for her next chapter. This is a
devastating loss for us here at 41NBC and most definitely for her
family.”
Her death marked the first fatality at
Rainbow Falls in 2016, according to local officials. In the past 10
years, there have been seven deaths in the Pisgah National Ranger
District.
