A visit to Torrey Pines State Beach in La Jolla, California turned tragically fatal Aug21, 2008
as a collapse in the cliff side led to the death of a 57-year-old beachgoer.
The man, who has yet to be publicly identified, died at Scripps Memorial Hospital - La Jolla,
after blunt trauma was induced by falling boulders at 1 PM Aug21, 2008 afternoon.
"He'd gone to the foot of the cliff to take off his shoes, and a small section of the bluffs just
gave way and came down," said Maurice Luque of the Sand Diego Fire Rescue Department
to the San Diego Union-Tribune.
