June Alexander, 51, died from injuries suffered after she fell from "The Hawk," a rocking ship ride that eventually turns upside down. Alexander was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

I send prayers and best wishes to the victim's friends and family as well as to the ride operators and other guests who were on the ride.
