From Times Free Press On Saturday August 24, 2013, Marnita McGruder, 52, of Rex, Ga and another women fell out of their raft around 11:30 a.m., according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. One woman was pulled back on board. McGruder grabbed a rescue rope but lost consciousness before she could be pulled to safety. Some witnesses said it looked as if McGruder may have had a heart attack, but the results of the autopsy won’t be available for several weeks. Rescuers performed CPR on the woman, and she was taken by ambulance to Copper Basin Medical Center, about nine miles away where she was pronounced dead.
