Obviously, I like cats, but
this is a horribly ironic way to go:
Sunday night, Jeane Miller, 64, was looking for one of her cats, Harley, around 10 p.m. when she got tangled in a thorn bush, lost her balance and fell about eight feet into the Palo Duro Creek behind her home at 29 Village Drive in Canyon.
Though there wasn't much water in the creek, Miller likely hit her head during the fall and was unable to pull herself out and drowned, said Bobby Griffin, chief of police in Canyon.
After a lengthy search, Canyon firefighters pulled Miller out of the creek at about 2 a.m. Monday. She was confirmed dead at the scene, said Griffin.
How tragic. I could make a lot of bad jokes, but I won't. RIP, Jeane.
