ASHLAND, Ohio -- Police say an 8-year-old Ohio girl has died after falling into a hole she dug while playing in a snow bank in front of her family's home.
Ashland police Sgt. Joel Icenhour says that Emily Kramer was playing alone Sunday afternoon when she fell head first into the hole and could not free herself.
He says the girl's father had been outside with her earlier and returned to pull her out of the snow and find her unconscious.
The girl was taken to Samaritan Regional Health System, where she was pronounced dead.
Icenhour says the girl's waist had blocked her access to air, and that she had kicked off one of her boots. She dug the 12-inch to 15-inch-wide hole with a larger shovel, and a small sand shovel was found inside.
