“The authorities found the body of the young man who fell off the cliff in the area of the Cabo Rojo lighthouse,” said the Emergency Management and Disaster Administration Bureau (NMEAD) on social networks.

He added that “divers from the PREMB strike team in the Mayagüez area found his whereabouts.”

“Commissioner Nino Correa thanked all the personnel from the municipal, state and federal agencies who helped in this search. Our deepest condolences to his family,” he added.
For his part, the mayor of Cabo Rojo, Jorge Morales, indicated that the use and access to the lighthouse corresponded to the municipality since mid-2022. However, the properties of the Natural Reserve of the town above are under the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental (DNER) administration.

When asked by this medium about the preventive marking of the area, he indicated that he understands that “there is a sign that says ‘cliff’.” He added that he would verify if the site is labeled accordingly; otherwise, “put it, it’s up to all of us.”

“Enjoy our natural beauties, but be careful in these places, which are beautiful, but could represent danger (…) the cliffs at the lighthouse are impressive, one of a kind,” Morales pointed out.
