A California man died after he fell from a rocky bluff in an Oregon state park and was swept into the Pacific Ocean over the weekend, police said. His body was recovered Sunday.
On Saturday, 25-year-old Henry Minh Hoang of West Covina, California, was hiking past a safety fence in an area of Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area known to locals as"the punch bowl" when he slipped and fell approximately 20 feet to the water's edge, Oregon State Police said in aHoang was knocked unconscious from the fall and the waves swept him into the ocean, police said.
The operation, assisted by the Tillamook County Sheriff's Office, firefighters and the U.S. Coast Guard, was put on hold until Sunday morning, when"searchers could safely resume their efforts," police said. At around 4:30 p.m. Sunday, Hoang's body was discovered at the bottom of a nearby cliff on the shoreline, according to police. The state park's website gives a starkto visitors to not go beyond safety fences, saying that people have died after climbing over them.
"Beyond the fence, the cliff edge can — and will — crumble without warning. It's dangerous, and people have died after climbing over the safety fences," the website says."Don't do it. The views are spectacular from the established viewpoints, on the safe side of the fence." A park ranger with the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department talks to a man and his daughter who walked through the fence at Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area in Cloverdale, Oregon, June 29, 2016.
