Seventeen-year-old Victoria Marley, an accomplished golfer, ironically, fell to her death from a golf cart last Friday at the world-famous Cinnamon Hill Golf Course in Montego Bay, St James.

Marley was riding the cart from home in the nearby Caribbean Heights to the golf course when the cart overturned while she was trying to retrieve an iPod which had fallen from her lap. She was thrown from the cart, which went over a gully. Family members said that she sustained a head injury and was bleeding from the brain.

Marley was holidaying with her aunt, Cathy Marley, and uncle-in-law Robert Ames, who is director of the golf course at Cinnamon Hill.
