A 20-year-old man died Tuesday after falling 70 feet from a waterfall on the Eagle Creek Trail, west of Cascade Locks, the Hood River County Sheriff's Office said.

Francesco Goncalves of Eastchester, N.Y., was hiking with a group of friends, several who witnessed his drop into Punchbowl Falls, said Sheriff Matt English in a news release.

Deputies received a call at 5:42 p.m. that sent rescue crews to the accident site, located two miles from the trailhead.

Before crews arrived, witnesses and callers had reported Goncalves had died from his injuries. Crews arrived by 7:43 p.m., according to the sheriff's office. English said no foul play is suspected at this point.

The incident's investigation remains open while the county District Attorney's Office and medical examiner review the case. This post will be updated as news develops.
