A 43-year-old man died from injuries he suffered when he jumped with a woman off the Huntington Beach Pier, a city spokeswoman said Monday.
The man, whose name was not immediately released, leapt off the pier Sunday evening with a 36-year-old woman, who was able to make it back to shore without injury, said Jennifer Carey, a spokeswoman for Huntington Beach.
Police were dispatched at 6:30 p.m. to the pier to respond to reports the two jumped off the pier, Carey said.
Surfers pulled the man ashore, Carey said.
He was rushed to Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian in Newport Beach, where he was later pronounced dead, Carey said.
