The serene beauty of Glacier National Park was shattered on Sunday as 26-year-old Gillian Tones from North Apollo, Pennsylvania, tragically lost her life in a drowning incident near St. Mary Falls on the park’s east side. The National Park Service confirmed Tones’ identity in a press release following the heartbreaking incident.
Clarification of Events
Initial reports suggested that Tones had entered the water above St. Mary Falls. However, witnesses later clarified that she slipped on wet, slick rocks and fell into Virginia Creek between St. Mary and Virginia Falls, approximately 200 yards above the trail bridge. The fast-moving water swiftly carried Tones over a series of smaller waterfalls before a log pinned her underwater for several minutes. Heroic efforts by other park visitors eventually led to her rescue.
Emergency Response Efforts
Multiple 911 calls were received by park dispatch through Glacier County dispatch at around 5:20 p.m. Park rangers swiftly arrived on the scene by 5:45 p.m., and an ALERT helicopter landed nearby at approximately 6:20 p.m. Despite the valiant resuscitation efforts of bystanders, park rangers, ambulance personnel, and ALERT helicopter medics, Tones did not regain consciousness. She was pronounced deceased by ALERT personnel at 7 p.m. on June 23.
Gratitude and Condolences
The National Park Service expressed gratitude to Glacier County, ALERT, Babb Ambulance, and U.S. Border Patrol for their invaluable support during the tragic incident. They also extended their deepest condolences to Tones’ family and friends, urging the public to respect their privacy during this difficult time.
It is a sobering reminder of the unpredictable dangers that nature can present, and serves as a poignant reminder to always exercise caution and vigilance in the great outdoors.
