Recent College Grad, 23, Dead After Falling from California Cliff [Video]

A 23-year-old man died after falling from a beachside cliff in California over the weekend.

Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Public Information Officer Raquel Zick said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, that deputies responded around 2:35 p.m. on April 20 to the 6600 block of Del Playa Drive in Isla Vista for an adult male who accidentally fell from the bluff. 

He was transported to the hospital, but did not survive, according to Zick.

Santa Barbara County Fire Public Information Officer Scott Safechuck said in an X post that the victim, later identified by loved ones as Jacob Parker, had climbed over a barrier fence and fell about 50 feet.

PEOPLE has reached out to the county fire department for comment.

Parker, a 2023 graduate of UC Santa Barbara, lived in San Diego but was in town for the weekend’s All-Gaucho Reunion, the Santa Barbara Independent reported. The weekend event serves as a reunion for college alumni.
