Parents die, sons hurt on upstate hike

A FAMILY’S weekend hike turned into heartbreak when an upstate couple fell to their deaths from a cliff and their young boys were injured, police said Monday.

William and Amanda Green, 33 and 35, were found dead Sunday near a creek at Zoar Valley Gorge, near their Buffalo home. Their 4-year-old son, Alexander, was nearby with severe injuries, and their 7-year-old, Jacob, though less severely injured, was found hours later wandering the gorge floor alone.

Police were trying to piece together exactly how the tragedy unfolded, though they said it appeared the parents and Alexander fell about 200 feet.

“It’s sheer. It drops straight down,” Erie County sheriff’s spokesman Scott Zylka said.

Erie County Sheriff Timothy Howard said two hikers trekking through the bottom of the gorge came across the Greens’ bodies. Alexander was nearby.

He was listed in guarded condition Monday at a Buffalo hospital where he was being treated for internal injuries, fractures and a head injury. Jacob was taken to the same hospital and was in good condition with a broken right arm and ankle.
