Kentucky Sen. Johnnie Turner of Harlan has died as a result of injuries received in an accident last month.

Turner was injured and hospitalized in September when a riding lawnmower he was driving went into an empty swimming pool.

    It was a why. And I guess he could have been on his phone right by the pool while mowing too. I don’t think any sort of safe behavior was involved considering if it was some sort of mechanical failure, you can easily jump off of a riding mower before it falls into a pool and maybe skin your knee.

    I’m just trying to figure out how this would have happened if it wasn’t either irresponsibility or a medical issue. I concede that there could be other options.

      Id argue its hard to jump off anything when youre old as him.
