Cliff Fall, Aug. 7

A 15-year old Brookings boy died Tuesday, Aug. 1, after falling from a seaside cliff while fishing with friends.  The body of Dylan Speir was found after a search began about 4:30 p.m. for the overdue youth.  He went fishing with friends at Chetco Point at the end of Tanbark Road about 4 p.m.  The friends became separated and efforts to reach Speir by his cellphone went unanswered.  His father located his body on a rocky ledge about 15-feet above the water.  The US Coast Guard helped recover him.
