Anyone hear what trail he was on?
===============================
The Herald-Leader of Lexington reported Saturday that hiker John W. Pacey died Friday night.
Authorities said the 44-year-old lost his balance while walking along a narrow trail with friends.
He slipped and fell about 150 feet down an embankment.
Emergency responders declared Pacey dead at the scene of the accident, which occurred in Wolfe County.
The accident remains under investigation.
Pacey is the second Ohio man to die in the gorge this year.
Ronald J. Trick, of Powell, Ohio, fell to his death in February in a similar accident.
