Maine authorities say a Lewiston woman has died after falling about 30 feet (9 meters) down a waterfall in Franklin County on Saturday.
Witnesses told the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife that 29-year-old Tanisha Barry was in a pool above Small Falls with a friend when she got close to the edge, stumbled and fell down the falls.
Officials say a friend climbed down to try to rescue her but couldn’t find her in the turbulent water.
He drove to an area with cell phone reception to call 911.
Rescuers rappelled down the rocks and used ropes to enter the water and retrieve her body.
