Fla. College Students Found Dead in Ga. Cave

Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson says rescue workers believe that two University of Florida students who died in a north Georgia cave were trapped by their rappelling ropes in a frigid waterfall. Wilson says the two, 20-year-old Grant Lockenbach and 18-year-old Michael Pirie, apparently died of hypothermia in Ellison's Cave. Coroner Dewayne Wilson says autopsy results are expected Monday afternoon. Pictured here, Michael Pirie.

David Ashburn, director of Walker County Emergency Management, says Lockenbach, Pirie and eight other students from Gainesville, Fla., entered the cave Saturday morning to explore it. Witnesses told officials that Lockenbach rappelled into a pit to retrieve a bag but got tangled in his ropes and cold water poured over him. They say Pirie went down to help but also got stuck. The bodies were recovered hours later. Pictured here, Grant Lockenbach.
