Authorities have identified the 26-year-old man who died last week after jumping into a shallow pool in Glacier National Park.
The National Park Service says Clint Cory Not Afraid of Browning died from his injuries on May 4 after jumping feet-first into a pool at Running Eagle Falls.
The initial investigation indicates that Not Afraid jumped from the waterfall on his own accord. Park rangers conducted an accident investigation including gathering statements from witnesses. No suspicious circumstances, including foul play or suicide, were noted.
Park rangers arrived on the scene within minutes of receiving the call and performed CPR. The ALERT helicopter, Glacier County Emergency Medical Services, Blackfeet Emergency Medical Services, Blackfeet Law Enforcement Services and the Glacier County Sheriff’s Department also responded to the scene.
Park visitors are reminded to use caution around all water features, especially waterfalls and fast moving streams. Water is cold, swift and very high in many locations at this time of year, and rocks can be very slippery. Falls and drowning are the top two causes of death in the park.
