19-year-old falls from cliff at swimming hole and disappears, Oregon cops say
A 19-year-old drowned after falling from a cliff at a swimming hole in Oregon, deputies said.
The man was at a rock quarry reservoir near Ashland on the evening of Thursday, June 26, when he “reportedly fell from a cliff at the water’s edge and disappeared into the deep water,” the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office said in a June 27 Facebook post.
His name wasn’t released.
Deputies said “no suspicious circumstances were observed on scene,” and search and rescue officials recovered the body at the quarry reservoir several hours after their arrival, authorities said.
“Our condolences go out to his family and friends,” deputies said.
Ashland is about 285-mile drive south from Portland.
