ST. PAUL, Ind. (AP) — Authorities say a Cincinnati man died
after jumping 30 feet into an old rock quarry at a private park in
central Indiana.
State conservation officers say divers found
30-year-old Ryan Hester’s body in the lake at White Rock Park near the
town of St. Paul. Witnesses told investigators that Hester landed
awkwardly on a rope marking the landing area after jumping with a friend
from a platform Thursday afternoon and didn’t come to the surface.
Officer Corey Narrod tells The Indianapolis Star (http://indy.st/1o4T9zU ) that Hester’s body was
found in 19 feet of water.
Narrod
said signs clearly state only one person at a time should jump from the
platform at the park about 30 miles southeast of Indianapolis.
