Mansfield man drives off Grand Canyon overlook to his death
By Bryan G. Robinson
Mansfield Gazette, 11 Jan. 2006, p.1
 A Mansfield man apparently killed himself last week by driving his car off an overlook at Leonard Harrison State Park on the east rim of the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon, according to a Tioga County official. “Based on the conversations I had with police and family and friends, there was no doubt in their minds,” said deputy coroner James Daugherty last Thursday afternoon. Daugherty pronounced Jeffrey E. Edgerton, 39, dead at about 4:15 PM after firefighters and a state trooper retrieved the body from underneath the car that was first spotted late Thursday morning by a sightseer. The cause of death, Daughtery said, was “massive impact trauma.” The body was released to Jacquelyn A. Buckheit Funeral Chapel, where Edgerton, a 1984 Mansfield High School graduate, worked as a part-time funeral director. Edgerton, who was a teacher at the Thomas A. Edison High School in Elmira Heights, is the son of James E. and Mary Jane Edgerton. The Wellsboro Fire Department and Ambulance, Gale Hose Co. and Galeton Ambulance all responded to the scene after receiving the initial call at about 10:30 AM, Wellsboro Assistant Fire Chief Bob McCarthy said. “The initial dispatch was that there was a car over the edge,” said McCarthy. A Potter Brook woman, Bobbie Smith, spotted the vehicle while visiting the park with her father, Bill Smith and stepmother, Melody Smith, and two friends Vicky Swan and Mike Hart, all of Little Marsh. In a telephone interview from her Potter Brook home, Bobbie Smith said they couldn’t help but notice the railing was gone and then saw parts of the vehicle, including a fender. After that, she said they got out binoculars and were able to spot the car, a dark green Saturn, about 600 feet down the hillside. The Saturn was found on its roof, with Edgerton pinned beneath. According to police, he was ejected from the car before it fell on him, trapping him underneath. “We thought something was fishy,” Bobbie Smith said. “There were no tracks. It was weird… I told Dad we better call it in.” Daugherty said Edgerton pulled out of his driveway in Mansfield on Monday, Jan. 2, about 6:30 PM. On Tuesday morning, members of his family contacted the Mansfield Police Department to report him missing. McCarthy indicated that Edgerton might have been there since before Tuesday, Jan. 3, when it snowed. After the body was extricated from the vehicle by firefighters and a state police troops from Montoursville Troop F’s Recovery and Investigation squad, the vehicle slid down the hill, according to Chip Harrison, park manager with the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Bureau of State Parks. Harrison is responsible for the Hills Creek State Park complex, which includes Leonard Harrison. He said Wilson Towing of Mansfield was working on getting the vehicle out of the canyon as of Friday afternoon. Harrison said his staff would make temporary repairs to the railings last week and would make more permanent repairs over the next week or two. Daugherty said the last such case that he was aware of occurred off Colton Point State Park in the mid-1990s. “It’s been quite a few years since anything like this,” agreed Harrison. One of the more notorious such incidents occurred at Colton Point, when a Potter County man drove through the railing at Colton'’ main overlook, killing himself. He had kidnapped an ex-girlfriend and then released her before driving off the overlook.
