A Texas family is grieving after their 10-year-old daughter tragically died after trying to rescue kittens. 
 
 Greenlee Marie was trying to rescue her kittens from behind a clothes dryer in her home when she was electrocuted, according to a GoFundMe created by her family. 
 
 “On July 7th, Greenlee lost her life in a traumatizing accident at home. She was trying to rescue two kittens from behind her family’s dryer when she was tragically taken from this world,” the GoFundMe read. “At just 10 years of age, she had such a compassionate heart, not just for people but for orphaned and injured animals as well.” 
 
 “At the wishes of her beloved parents, fundraising in Greenlee’s memory are being made available to all who knew her and loved her in our community,” it continued. “Her whole life she had enjoyed helping those less fortunate than herself, and had always planned when she was older to become a veterinarian and to help rescue more animals.” 
 
 “So in honor of Greenlee we are asking that any donations be made, in lieu of flowers, cards, etc, her family would like to be able to collect funds to continue Greenlee’s passion of helping animals in our community. Please help us in honoring her memory by being her voice for the voiceless.” 
 
 Her mother, Shelby Roos told KSLA-TV that her daughter “loved her babies,” referring to the kittens Greenlee was trying to rescue. 
 
 “And she would do anything for them. I know she is up there right now with all of her babies,” Roos added. 
 
 Roos shared a Facebook tribute to her daughter on Monday calling her a “light.” 
 
 “With the heaviest of hearts I want to tell y’all our Greenlee was tragically taken from us Sat [sic] night,” Roos wrote alongside a photo of her daughter sticking out her tongue which was blue. 
 
 “She was such a light in this world and everyone she ever met couldn’t help but fall in love with her. She had more compassion for everything living at 10 years old than most will have in a lifetime,” she continued. “Please pray for us as we try to find sence [sic] in the senseless.” 
 
 “I ask everyone please continue to respect our privacy in not posing details. I will update everyone as soon as I have more info,” Roos continued. “Please hug all your babies tight because tomorrow is truly never promised. And take peace in the fact that she is in heaven getting love from all the animals she loved with her whole heart.❤❤❤❤❤❤“ 
 
 Police and the fire department are currently investigating the wiring in the home, according to the Dallas Morning News. A spokesperson for the New Boston Police Department did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment. 
 
 While the family had previously complained about electricity issues in the home, interim New Boston police chief Gary McGrary told KSLA it was “too early right now to start placing blame and responsibility.” 
 
 Greenlee’s body was sent to Dallas, Texas for an autopsy, the Dallas Morning News reported. ||||| On July 7th, Greenlee lost her life in a traumatizing accident at home.

 Breaking News Staff 
 
 Funeral services for six of the eight Rhoden family members killed in execution-style shootings April 22 will be held today. 
 
 The services will begin at noon today at Dry Run Church of Christ in West Portsmouth for: Christopher Don Rhoden Sr., 40; Dana Lynn Rhoden, 37; Clarence “Frankie” Rhoden, 20; Hanna Rhoden, 19; Christopher Don Rhoden Jr., 16; and Kenneth Rhoden, 44. 
 
 Mark Seevers, minister at the Dry Run Church of Christ, said the Roger W. Davis Funeral Home contacted him last week to see if the facility was available for the funeral services. 
 
 “We quickly said yes,” Seevers said this morning, as he met with the media prior to the funeral services. “Even though the Rhoden family are not members of our congregation, we wanted to be of service to our community and be of help to them at this time of great tragedy and loss in their lives.” 
 
 The facility seats 480 people comfortably, Seevers said, and a large crowd is expected today. There also are a number of security officers on site. 
 
 “The southern Ohio community is a close-knit family, and … it’s rocked our entire community,” Seevers said. “Everyone is grieving and in mourning. It’s such a sorrowful tragedy. We wanted to be available; just whatever we can do, we wanted to do it.” 
 
 A somber day with overcast skies greeted family and friends Monday at the visitation for the six victims at the Roger W. Davis Funeral Home in West Portsmouth. 
 
 Mourners declined to speak with reporters and appeared to be emotional, upset and disturbed by the tragedy. 
 
 Scioto County Sheriff’s cars lined the roads near the funeral home. Deputies also patrolled the funeral home’s parking lots. 
 
 Volunteers in orange T-shirts policed the area around the funeral home and helped direct traffic and escort family members. The number of mourners outnumbered residents in the neighborhood and traffic at times was bumper-to-bumper. 
 
 The visitation and funeral for Hannah Hazel Gilley, 20, was Saturday at the Botkin Hornback Funeral Home in Otway. She was buried in Hackworth Hill Cemetery, Otway. 
 
 “It’s certainly a tremendous tragedy for our whole area,” funeral director Paul Hornback said. “In dealing with the Rhoden family that will be handled later in the weeks, I don’t want the Gilley family to be lost in all the shuffle either because they’ve certainly suffered a tremendous loss as well.” 
 
 A “Pray for Pike County” vigil to honor the eight victims was held Friday night at the Pike County Fairgrounds. 
 
 The first of the eight Pike County shooting victims was laid to rest Thursday in Kentucky. 
 
 The funeral service for Gary Rhoden was held at Crockett L. Reed Funeral Home in South Shore, Ky. Burial was at the Miller Cemetery in South Shore. 
 
 Gary Rhoden’s father, Kenneth, said his son had no enemies. 
 
 “He was just a hard worker,” Kenneth Rhoden said. “He’d give you the shirt off his back. … He liked to fish, hunt, stuff like that.” 
 
 Kenneth Rhoden said his son was shot three times in the head, but he wasn’t aware how many times the other victims were shot. Rhoden believes more than one person was involved, saying “it was laid out.” 
 
 “I’d like to take them and torture them, for killing the whole family like this,” Rhoden said. 
 
 “Somebody had to know something because there were no doors busted down,” he continued. “It’s rough. This is the worst thing I’ve ever went through. They all were good persons, the whole family.” 
 
 Funeral arrangements and burial plans started to come in Wednesday, per reports. 
 
 The relationships of the victims were released by the attorney general’s office earlier in the week. 
 
 Dana Rhoden, 37, and her ex-husband Christopher Rhoden Sr., 40, were among the deceased. 
 
 Three children the former couple had together also were among those killed: 
 
 Hanna Rhoden, 19 
 
 Christopher Rhoden Jr., 16 
 
 Clarence “Frankie” Rhoden, 20 
 
 A brother of Christopher Rhoden Sr., Kenneth Rhoden, 44, was killed. Their cousin, Gary Rhoden, 38, was also shot to death. 
 
 Clarence “Frankie” Rhoden’s partner, Hannah Gilley, 20, also was killed in the shootings. 
 
 Children surviving the shootings were the following: 
 
 Hanna Rhoden’s 4-day-old daughter 
 
 Clarence “Frankie” Rhoden’s 3-year-old son 
 
 Clarence “Frankie” Rhoden and Hannah Gilley’s 6-month old son 
 
 Five victims will be buried side by side at Scioto Burial Park in nearby Rushtown, Tony Rhoden previously told the Columbus Dispatch. 
 
 The Dispatch reports that the five he spoke of are: his younger brother, Christopher Rhoden Sr.; his niece, Hanna Rhoden; his two nephews, Clarence “Frankie” Rhoden and Christopher Rhoden Jr.; and Dana Rhoden, Chris Sr.’s ex-wife and the children’s mother. 
 
 Kenneth Rhoden will reportedly be buried at Mound Cemetery in Piketon. 
 
 NewsCenter 7’s John Bedell spoke Monday morning with Leonard Manley, father of victim Dana Rhoden. He said whoever committed the murders are “a bunch of scum bags” who knows the family. Manley, who is still shaken up about the the loss of this relatives, said his daughter was a kind person who’d “give you the shirt off her back,” and people in the area were aware of her kindness. 
 
 He learned about the deaths Friday morning from another one of his daughters who found them and called him, Manley said, noting that he’s taken the sheriff’s advice and has armed himself. 
 
 Both Christopher Rhoden Jr. and another victim, Frankie Rhoden, 20, worked at Big Bear Lake Family Resort, according to Facebook pages, including “Remembering Frankie Rhoden.” 
 
 The family released a statement earlier this week asking anyone with information to call the BCI. 
 
 “The Rhoden family would like to thank everyone for all of the outpouring of prayers and support for their family,” according to the family statement. “They asked that you continue to keep them in your prayers. They want to thank all of law enforcement from Pike County and surrounding counties for their immediate response — especially sheriff Charlie Reader, the Pike County sheriff — for all of his hard work. 
 
 “They’d like to thank the Ohio Attorney General — Mike DeWine — his staff, BCI agents, all EMS services and first responders. Special thanks to Pike County Victim advocate David Dickerson and the victim advocates responding from surrounding counties,” according to the statement. 
 
 “They would like to give a special thanks to the Ohio crisis response team for their care. They ask that everyone be respectful of their family of their loss at this time. They also have a plea for anyone who has any information in this matter to call 1-855-BCI-OHIO,” the statement continued. ||||| CLOSE President Trump rolls back Obama's Cuban policy in favor of negotiating new terms; Yearbooks to be reiussed after MAGA shirt was censored

 The boat lift involved in the fatal electrocution of an 11-year-old girl had corroded and fallen into disrepair, Mayor Thomas Kelaher said. 
 
 The girl, a Newark resident who was visiting friends in the township, died after she was electrocuted while swimming in a Toms River lagoon, police said. The girl and a friend were on a raft when they touched the metal boat lift, and an "electric current appears to have energized the equipment causing the injury," police said. 
 
 Kelaher said authorities were at the Tobago Avenue home Monday to inspect the boat lift. 
 
 The equipment was initially installed in 2001 and up to code, Kelaher said. Then the property, including the lift, was sold to its current homeowners, who do not own a boat and did not frequently check on the lift. 
 
 Over the years, the electrical junction box under the dock corroded, Kelaher said, and the victim fatally placed her hand on the metal frame. 
 
 "You can't really blame anybody; it's a tragic accident," Kelaher said. 
 
 The incident happened when the girl and two of her friends were using an inflatable raft and swimming in the lagoon behind the home on Saturday. 
 
 The girls were all wearing life jackets and in the presence of adults, police said. The two other girls were not injured.

 Though docks and boats are sources of electricity, few people are aware of the risk of electrocution when swimming nearby. 
 
 Swimmers should never be in the water near a marina or a running boat, according to the nonprofit organization Electrical Safety Foundation International. Electric Shock Drowning can happen when an electrical current, even a low-level current, passes through the body, according to the Electric Shock Drowning Prevention Association. The current causes muscular paralysis, and majority of these deaths happen near docks or marinas, according to the association.

 Only 1/50th of the energy needed to power a 60-watt light bulb can cause paralysis and drowning, according to the Electrical Safety Foundation. 
 
 More than 70 deaths between 1986 and 2013 were caused by electrocutions near water, according to a 2014 report prepared by Quality Marine Services of Jacksonville, Florida, for the National Fire Protection Association. The company attributed an additional 38 "near misses" over that same time period to electric shocks by water. 
 
 Boat lifts were responsible for some of those deaths and near misses. In 2012, a man in Minnesota died after three people were shocked in a lake by what was presumed to be a boat lift, according to the report. In 2012, a 13-year-old girl and her 8-year-old brother were killed in Missouri while swimming near a private dock with a boat lift and water slide that had power supplies that were not properly grounded, the company found.

 Yet in New Jersey, these types are deaths are rare, said Dr. Robert Sweeney, chairman of the department of emergency medicine at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune. 
 
 Overall, deaths by electrocutions are relatively rare, he said. Sweeney added that in 25 years of living by the Jersey Shore, he has never before heard of such an incident. 
 
 "This sounds like a sad tragic accident," he said. 
 
 The Boat Owners Association of The United States describes the risk of electric shock drowning in the below video. 
 
 If someone suspects that a person in the water is being electrocuted, they should never jump in to help. They should throw in a life ring, turn off the power supply, and call 911, according to Electrical Safety Foundation International. 
 
 Tobago Avenue was quiet Sunday afternoon. A woman at the home where the electrocution happened declined to comment. A neighbor said no one on the street knew the girl. 
 
 The call to police came in at 8:12 p.m. Saturday. First responders took over CPR that had been begun by adults who were at the home, and then used an Automated External Defibrilator on the girl. The child was taken to Community Medical Center in Toms River, where she later died. 
 
 The Toms River incident is under investigation by Toms River Police Detectives Louis Santora and James Carey, along with Ocean County Prosecutor's Office Detective Lindsay Woodfield and Ocean County Sheriff’s Department C.S.I. Sgt. David Deleeuw and Officer Jillian Menke.

– A Texas family says they are trying to "make sense of the senseless" in the tragic death of their 10-year-old daughter, who was electrocuted in their home. Greenlee Marie Buckley's mother says the girl, who loved animals, died while trying to rescue two kittens that had become trapped behind their dryer on Saturday night, People reports. Police say the family has told them they previously complained about electrical issues in the rented home in New Boston, around 20 miles west of Texarkana, though Chief Gary McCrary says it's "too early right now to start placing blame and responsibility." Police and power company investigators have visited the house, which the family had lived in for around 15 months. Experts say that when a dryer gives off an electrical shock to the touch, it is a sign of one or more common but potentially lethal electrical issues, the Fort-Worth Star-Telegram reports. Greenlee's grieving parents say there's no reason their daughter should be gone. "Landlords need to be held accountable for the conditions of the homes that they let people live in," mother Shelby Roos tells KSLA. "All we want is a voice for our daughter who left us over a senseless act." Greenlee always "enjoyed helping those less fortunate than herself, and had always planned when she was older to become a veterinarian and to help rescue more animals," the family says in a GoFundMe campaign to honor her memory by helping animals in the community.
