WHARTON, W.Va. (AP) — Donnie Barker III, 25, died Monday in Boone County when heat from his fire broke apart a massive overhanging boulder, tumbling on the man and nearly killing his neighbor as well.
Barker and the other hunter — his neighbor, Steven Lee Setser, 19 — had built the fire beneath a sandstone boulder sitting atop a rock, Walter said.
The heat apparently split the boulder in half and it landed on Barker, Walter said.
Setser barely escaped with his life, Walters said, as the sheared boulder grazed his head.
