James Huring was walking on Twin Falls trail in Olallie State Park. Â The main trail had been previously washed out, which is why the area was closed off.
A statement from King County Sheriff’s Office said witnesses reported seeing Huring walk by a clearly marked sign, noting the trail was closed. Â Not long after, they remember hearing the dog yelping loudly.
After following all of the commotion, they finally came upon the scene. Â The man had fallen and had died, and the dog was stuck halfway up the cliff.
Emergency services went in to recover Huring and rescue the dog. Â Te dog was rescued without incident, and was reported as unharmed by the ordeal.
