Friends and family are mourning the loss of a 4-year-old boy who died Saturday after suffering injuries from a water accident while hiking last weekend.

It happened last Sunday in the pocket wilderness in Hamilton County.

Will Smith's father, Tony, was posting updates to a Facebook page, letting friends and family know of Will's condition. Saturday he posted, "I do not know how to begin this post.
