California hiker, Henry Minh Hoang Found Dead after falling 20 feet down

Authorities have confirmed the death of a man from Southern California, 25 years old, who fell off a cliff in coastal Oregon over the weekend and was subsequently washed away by waves.

Oregon State Police said on Monday that on Saturday, Henry Minh Hoang was hiking beyond a safety fence in Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area when he slipped and fell about 20 feet (6 meters) to the water’s edge.

The victim “was reportedly knocked unconscious from the fall and was swept into the ocean by the waves,” the police said.

The authorities launched a search operation, which eventually shifted to a recovery effort, after witnesses reported losing sight of him.

Hoang’s body was found at the base of a nearby cliff at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, police said.

He hailed from the West Covina neighborhood, located about 32 kilometers (20 miles) east of Los Angeles.
