Authorities say a father died in Oregon over the weekend when he fell roughly 200 feet while hiking on a popular trail near Multnomah Falls with his wife and five children.
Oregon lawmakers have passed amended versions of the two bills that were at the center of a six-week Republican walkout.
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 at the base of a cliff near a highway, directly below the trail where he slipped. Hernandez did not survive the fall, the sheriff’s office said, and officials believe alcohol impairment was a contributing factor in the fall.
More than 2 million people go to Multnomah Falls each year, according to the U.S. Forest Service. The sheriff’s office said hikers in the Columbia River Gorge should have appropriate footwear and equipment, watch where they step and keep children within reach.
