A 25-year-old Los Angeles man died March 4 after falling 20 feet while hiking along a dangerous part of Oregon’s coast, according to Oregon State Police, marking the eighth fatality at the site since 2009.
The hiker, identified as Henry Minh Hoang of West Covina—a suburb in Los Angeles County—was hiking beyond a safety barrier in the so-called “punch bowl” at the Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area, about 100 miles west of Portland, when he slipped and fell to the water’s edge around 5 p.m. last Saturday.
