Jonathan Hugh Sellers, 67, died on March 28, 2016, while turkey hunting in woods near County Road 21, south of Red Level, Alabama. He was reported missing about 11:55 a.m.; deputies, the River Falls Police Department, and the Sheriff’s Posse K9 unit joined a search that located him in a ravine around 1:00 p.m. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators from the Covington County Sheriff’s Office and the Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division concluded Sellers’ fall caused his firearm to discharge, producing a fatal wound to his upper body. The death was ruled accidental; no foul play was suspected and no arrests were made. Funeral services were held March 30, 2016, at First United Methodist Church of Andalusia, and he was buried at Andalusia Memorial Cemetery. He is survived by his wife, Jo Ellen Sellers, and three sons, Jeff, Josh, and Jason.
