MORRILTON, Ark. (AP) – An Oklahoma man was killed when he fell into a ravine on
a central Arkansas mountain.

Conway County Coroner Dennis Decker says 59-year-old Lonny Fennell of
Collinsville, Oklahoma, was found dead Tuesday on Petit Jean Mountain.

Decker says it appears Fennell was walking between cabins at Mather Lodge on
the mountain when he fell about 60 feet (18 meters) from a cliff or the ground
gave way.

Decker says Fennell was last seen about 3 p.m. Tuesday and was reported missing
about 6 p.m. Decker said park rangers were able to track Fennell’s cellphone and
find his body.

The mountain is near Morrilton, about 45 miles (72 kilometers) northwest of
Little Rock.
