Legislators and constituents are mourning the unexpected passing of State Senator Johnnie Turner.
Turner died Wednesday in Harlan.
He was hospitalized following a lawn mower accident at his residence in mid-September but was said to have been making improvements in his recovery.
Turner represented Senate District 29 which includes Bell, Floyd, Harlan, Knott, and Letcher counties.
Turner was running unopposed in the November 5th election.
