white female deaths after being struck by lightning

A 16-year-old girl has died after she was struck by lightning while hunting with her father in Florida, officials say.

Baylee Holbrook and her father had been hunting on Tuesday when lightning “struck a tree, hitting them,” the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office said.

Her father lost consciousness and when he awoke he found his daughter was not breathing.

He called 911 and began CPR, and the teen was transported to HCA Florida Putnam Hospital in Palatka, where she was stabilized enough to be taken to a trauma center. She had been listed in critical condition on Wednesday.
