A 20-year-old man died over the weekend in Camp Huaco Springs when he plunged nearly 25 feet from a tree, hit the ground and landed in the Guadalupe River.

Brandon Allen Cooper of Baytown was climbing down from the tree Saturday evening when he lost his footing and hit several branches as he tumbled down, said Lt. Mark Reynolds of the Comal County Sheriff's Office. Onlookers pulled him from the river and attempted to revive him with CPR, which Canyon Lake EMS also tried, he said.
