Alaska State Troopers say a 72-year-old California man died after he fell onto rocks near Seward Tuesday.
According to a Wednesday AST dispatch, troopers were informed just before 9 p.m. Tuesday that Edwin Logan of Chico, Calif. had fallen 25 feet at Humpy Cove.
Logan was flown by air ambulance to a Seward hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
AST spokesperson Tim Despain says Logan's fall occurred during a hike in the area.
"Apparently Mr. Logan was visiting Alaska with a couple of longtime friends, both men of about the same age as him," Despain wrote in an email to Channel 2. "They were hiking in the area when Edwin Logan tripped over a log and fell onto the rocks."
Logan's next of kin have been notified, and no foul play is suspected.
