A 7-year-old girl died Monday morning in Townsend after a tree fell on a home.  WVLT reports that officials responded around 8:00 a.m. to a 911 call at the home along Highway 73 near the Cades Cove entrance.  The girl was reportedly in bed when the tree crashed through her bedroom. A section of road near the home was also closed to clear debris from a slide that occurred at about the same time that the tree fell.
