Authorities say a father died over the weekend when he fell roughly 200 feet while hiking with his wife and five children near Oregon's tallest waterfall.
Sheriff's deputies and a U.S. Forest Service ranger began to search the area, asking a nearby police department for a drone to help search the steep and largely inaccessible terrain.
A sheriff's deputy found Hernandez-Rodriguez at the base of a cliff near a highway, directly below the trail where he slipped. He did not survive the fall, the sheriff's office said, and officials believe alcohol impairment was"likely a contributing factor in the fall." "It was initially believed Hernandez fell approximately 100-150 feet," the sheriff's office said."After further investigation, it is estimated that Hernandez fell nearly 200 feet."
