Witnesses said they saw the man “stumble toward the edge” of a cliff near the lighthouse in Cabo Rojo the previous day, police said.
“We express our most heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of Edgar Garay and pray they find closure and strength during this most difficult time,” Coast Guard Sector San Juan commander Capt. José E. Díaz said in a statement.
“We appreciate the efforts of all the Coast Guard, Puerto Rico Police and partner agency emergency responders, especially the Puerto Rico Emergency Management Bureau dive unit who was able to locate Mr. Garay’s body in such a highly inaccessible and challenging environment.”
In an interview with NBC affiliate WTHR, Garay’s brother, Carlos, said his sibling was shooting a social media video before he fell from the cliff.
