Andrea Macko reports for Porcupine Soup that a 16-year-old male died Aug. 8 at Fawn’s Leap in Haines Falls. Police, firefighters, EMS, and water rescue crews were dispatched to the swimming spot along State Route 23A, but could not save the man. The site includes a 24-foot-high waterfall and dangerous, rocky cliffs. There have been many deaths there over the years, the last in 2019 when in 2019 when a 20-year-old military cadet fell after the rock ledge he was hanging onto snapped. Last June a man nearly drowned after misjudging the depth of the water. On July 25 and 26 this year there were multiple people rescued there after heavy rains caused flash flooding.
