A tragic incident occurred at Purgatory Chasm State Reservation in Sutton, where a 49-year-old mother fell to her death while hiking with her three children. The fall, estimated between 50 to 75 feet, prompted a response from state police, who confirmed her death at the scene. The investigation is ongoing, spearheaded by State Police Detectives linked to the Worcester County District Attorney's Office. The park, known for its scenic but challenging trails, is especially hazardous in winter conditions, leading to seasonal closures.
"Troopers have secured the scene, and the circumstances of the incident remain under investigation by the State Police Detectives assigned to the Worcester County District Attorney's Office."
"Sutton Police say a 49-year old mother from Topsfield was found dead Tuesday afternoon after falling 50-70 feet at Purgatory Chasm State Park."
