"Following Ms. Loggins' death, I immediately contacted the Criminal Bureau of Investigation of the Mississippi Highway Patrol," Gray said, "and asked that they conduct an investigation into Ms. Loggins' death." An initial autopsy showed no physical trauma or "signs of evidence of trauma, suffocation or strangulation or any other form of injury that was inflicted upon Loggins that would have resulted death." Those findings were later turned over to the district attorney's office. After the case was reviewed by the proper authorities, it was determined that no further action be taken in this case as far as state court criminal proceedings.

It is usually due to excessive exposure to heat or during File Photo Carroll County Sheriff Don Gray confirms that while heatstroke can be prevented, most victims die as a result.

Seven years later, the mayor says Vaiden continues to feel the effects of that closure. "When that school closed," Turbeville said, "it was a devastating blow.

And we have never fully recovered from that. So much of the money that those children, teachers and parents were spending here from sales tax was lost. And now we are faced with the same situation with our last school here in Vaiden." Turbeville said Vaiden was unprepared for the possibility of losing Hathorn Elementary, as they were with the high school. "I shutter to think about the doors closing at Hathorn the way they did at the high school," the mayor said. "I have to remind the people in a position to close Hathorn that we are a part of the possible closing of Hathorn Elementary will have long term economic implications for Vaiden.

Johnson cited three areas that new industries consider when searching out new business territories: Transportation, Education and Infrastructure. "The infrastructure is important," Johnson said, "and the second thing they ask is what kind of public educational system do you have in place. The reason behind that is they're frying to find out if people in the area are getting the basic academic skills needed to be trained at their facility. So they look at public schools pretty closely." Johnson said despite the positive features travel 25 miles to a school is a pretty bad thing." The second issue closing Hathorn presents is a loss of jobs in Vaiden. Currently, Hathorn has 21 employees and one contract employee for lawn and yard maintenance.

If the school is closed, those employees would be relocated to Marshall Elementary in North Carrollton or be terminated. "Hathorn is really a small industry for us," Turbeville said. "There are 22 jobs there that will be lost. And from a financial standpoint, that's 22 people having to go somewhere else to find work. "Those same 22 people spend money here in our town," he continued.
