    RIP

    But let this also be a lesson to people who do this stuff. Stay where they tell you stay for YOUR safety.

    I'm willing to guess he was trying to get a photo or a selfie.

    That was my first thought as well, but honestly after not too long he probably went into shock and couldn't feel a thing. At least that's what I hope for their sake.

    There was a similar incident in Maui about 5 years ago. A man was too near a blow hole as a wave hit him from behind and pushed him into it.

    As I say about LSD...just stay inside and it will be a good trip. Go outside, you get killed walking off a cliff, or busted for acting like an ass. Stay in your home.

    No murder inquiry? :dunno:

    Not like this is an ordinary or likely way to die, barring drugs or stupidity.

    Murder, or manslaughter seems the most likely cause.

    And 2 football fields off the boardwalk is not just "walked off the boardwalk and slipped in".
