N.J. Woman Falls 100 Feet To Her Death While Hiking — Same Spot Where N.J. Teen Died

A 56-year-old New Jersey woman died when she fell 100 feet into a ravine this weekend — the same spot where a Westfield teen died last month, according to police.

The woman was identified as Marcie Yates, who fell off a trail near Kaaterskill Creek in the New York Catskills and was pronounced dead on the scene, according to the Register-Star.

"They were hiking on a line along the trail," Peter Kusminsky of the N.Y. State Police told the newspaper, noting that the woman was staying at a campground nearby. "It was very narrow."

A Westfield teenager also died after he fell off a waterfall in that area of the Catskills last month, New York State Police reported.

Ezra Kennedy, 17 was hiking with a group of relatives and friends when he reached the top of the lower section of the Kaaterskill Falls in the Town of Hunter, Greene County, New York.

As Kennedy neared the edge, he lost his footing on the wet rock, causing him to accidentally slip and fall approximately 50 feet to the rocks below, according to the preliminary investigation by police.

The victim was found dead near the base of the falls and was extricated from the scene by members of the Twin Clove Rope Rescue Team.
