"Mom, dad, five kids all here enjoying a beautiful day at Multnomah Falls and unfortunately a tragic accident happened," Plock told KPTV. "At one point on the trail, the father slipped and fell down an embankment." Plock also told KPTV that a drone was used to find the father, but it was a search party down below that found him. He was declared dead at the scene after being located 45 minutes into the search.
The 620-foot-high Multnomah Falls is a popular tourist destination and is the highest waterfall in the Columbia River Gorge, according to the U.S. Forest Service. U.S. Coast Guard crews rescued an injured dog that fell off a cliff near Cannon Beach, Oregon.
