An Indiana man died after falling from a cliff in Puerto Rico while trying to make a video for TikTok, according to his family
Edgar Garay, 27, of Indiana, was on a recreational day trip to the southwestern coast of Puerto Rico on January 29 when he fell off a 70-foot coastal cliff near the lighthouse in Cabo Rojo, according to a news release from the US Coast Guard. The fall was reported to the Coast Guard that evening and Garay’s body was recovered the next day by a Puerto Rico Emergency Dive Unit. Edgar’s brother, Carlos Garay, called his sibling a “daredevil,” according to CNN affiliate WTHR.
” Carlos has set up a verified GoFundMe to cover the costs of transporting his brother’s body back to Indiana. “Our family is now on a mission to bring our lovable sibling home so that he can be laid to rest among friends and family,” he wrote in the fundraiser description. Coast Guard officials also expressed condolences to Garay’s family in the release.
