The death of a Pottstown boy who was carrying a Bible passage when
he was involved in a sledding mishap this weekend in Coudersport, Pa.,
was a "tragic accident," the Potter County coroner ruled yesterday.
Coroner Kevin J. Dusenbury Sr. said Ian Joshua Miller, 12, died
after his plastic saucer-shaped sled plowed into a ski lift tower at
Ski Denton at 11:05 p.m. Friday.
The boy – a member of Boy Scout Troop 95, hosted by Cedarville
United Methodist Church in North Coventry, Chester County – was
pronounced dead at Charles Cole Memorial Hospital in Coudersport, three
hours from Montgomery County, Dusenbury said.
