Eli Hill, of Corbin, Died in a Freak Basketball Accident At Home

Posted by Martina Birk on Thursday, May 2, 2024

A freak accident claimed the life of an 8-year-old Kentucky child on Monday while he was shooting hoops at home.

Eli Hill, a Corbin resident, was playing hoops outside when he obtained a chair to stand on in order to slam the ball. Eli attempted to dunk the ball, but the backboard broke off the pole and crushed him, according to the local coroner.

He perished at the hospital after receiving a blunt chest injury. On Friday, Eli will be put to rest.

The second-grader was referred to as the joy in everyone’s life that he encountered.

His obituary states, “He was brilliant, reciting basketball, football, and baseball statistics. His greatest pleasure was playing with his dad.

Whether it’s playing video games, hitting drills, hoops, or a custom game (stair ball). Eli was compassionate, funny, intelligent, and an ardent lover. He was also his mother’s baby, and he never missed an opportunity to kiss her goodbye in the drop-off line or to cuddle on the sofa.

Eli’s heart and eyes were among the given organs.
