Sophie Barton was hiking with other girls and her mother Monday at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' Heber Valley Girls Camp, which is located just east of Heber City. Witnesses say she began to feel dizzy and eventually collapsed.
When emergency crews arrived, Barton was in and out of consciousness. They transported her to Heber Valley Medical Center, where she died a few hours later.
The Wasatch County Sheriff's Office says an autopsy will be performed to determine Barton's exact cause of death....
