A coroner has been dispatched to an ocean-side cliff near the Mendocino coastal town of Point Arena after a man reportedly fell to his death this evening.
Scanner traffic began around 4:50 p.m. when a reporting party told dispatch they had witnessed a man fall off a cliff while walking his dog.
First responders were in the area by 5:00 p.m. attempting to resuscitate the subject with CPR.
Sonoma County’s Henry 1 helicopter was deployed to the scene for air rescue but was canceled by 5:07 p.m. when the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
We have reached out to the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office for more details.

Where’s the dog at?
Absolutely relevant question!! I can’t stand when reporters do this.
I don’t mean to sound cold but I am a dog mom and every time I see anything involving a dog, I wish to know what happened to the dog. Obviously, the man loved his dog. Where is the dog, reporters? c’mon. Don’t leave your readers hanging. This just causes anxiety.
The guy that witnessed the fall was walking his dog not the guy who fell off the cliff!
