Teacher Drowns in NC

A teacher of deaf children has drowned in the waters of North Carolina's Outer Banks. Jill Bailey Chenet taught 2nd grade students at The River School in Washington, DC. She was 5 months pregnant with her first child when she and her husband were caught in the rip current. Her husband survived, but was hospitalized in serious condition. Someone found the couple floating just a few yards from the beach and called 911. The school has placed a statement about her death on its website here.
