Pregnant SoCal Teacher Falls To Her Death In Greece: Reports

GOLETA, CA — A pregnant Southern California teacher fell to her death while hiking in Greece, according to reports.

Clara Thomann fell Dec. 23 on a hike near Plakias in Crete and was evacuated by construction workers and emergency responders, her family wrote on the CaringBridge website.

Her fall down a gorge near Preveli Monastery was 50 meters — or 164 feet — and it took many hours to rescue her, according to the Greek Reporter, which reported she was six months pregnant, citing local media.

The baby did not survive, and Thomann was declared brain dead and her organs were donated, her family said.

Thomann was a science teacher at Dos Pueblos High School in Goleta, according to the Santa Barbara Independent.
