WILMINGTON -- More details are emerging about a Wilmington 12 year old that was killed after an accident at YMCA Camp Cheerio in Alleghany County on Thursday.
According to her obituary, Bonnie Burney had just finished the sixth grade at Saint Mark Catholic School and was on a one week stay at the camp.
The Wilmington Star News reports camp officials say she fell from the line while tethered over land, but they don't know how high off the ground the child was at the time.
They say the zip lines are closed and off limits until an investigation is complete.
The camp operated on a regular schedule Friday.
The obituary also says a memorial service will be held for Burney on Monday afternoon at 3 at Saint James Episcopal Church.
