Woman Dies After Fall at Devil’s Punchbowl on Oregon Coast

Fire crews rappelled to the injured woman and a Coast Guard helicopter flew her to a trauma center, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, June 3, a woman died after falling onto rocks at the Devil's Punchbowl State Natural Area near Newport, Oregon, according to Depoe Bay Fire District officials.
  • Due to the challenging terrain, firefighters rappelled down to the rocks below the park's collapsed sea cave, where they initiated advanced life support care for the victim with critical injuries.
  • The United States Coast Guard helicopter hoisted the woman from the cave after she was stabilized, with two firefighter-paramedics providing critical care during flight to a trauma center in the Willamette Valley.
  • Despite lifesaving measures, the woman died shortly after arriving at the hospital, though officials did not release her identity or disclose which facility treated her.
  • The Depoe Bay Fire District asked the public to "use extreme caution" and avoid entering fenced-off areas when visiting coastal cliffs to prevent further accidents.
