A 21-year-old who was seen dropping from a cliff in San Pedro before he was pronounced dead after firefighters pulled him from heavy surf was identified by the coroner’s office Friday as Jonathan Rodriguez of Harbor City.
Rodriguez was seen falling off the cliff at about 8:05 p.m. Thursday in the 800 block of West Paseo del Mar, according to Erik Scott of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Units searched for the victim on the ground and from the sea and air before he was found and placed aboard a fire department boat, Scott said.
Firefighters rendered aid while taking Rodriguez to a nearby fire station, but he succumbed to his injuries, Scott said.
A cause of death has not been determined, according to the Los Angeles County coroner’s office.
Investigators have not determined if Rodriguez’s fall was accidental or if he took his own life, said Officer Jane Kim of the Los Angeles Police Department‘s Media Relations Section.
