MARIN COUNTY, Calf. - The Coast Guard, working with the National Park Service, responded to a report of two people injured on the cliffs above Rodeo Beach in the Marin Headlands on April 14th. At 3:02 p.m., the Coast Guard received notification that a male and female were in distress after falling down a steep area near the water. The Coast Guard immediately launched a 47-foot Motor Lifeboat from Station Golden Gate, and a HH-65 Dolphin Helicopter from Air Station San Francisco. The crew aboard the 47-foot Motor Lifeboat located the two people on the cliffs above Rodeo Beach, and directed the helicopter to their location. The helicopter conducted a hoist rescue of the man, who was injured but conscious, and in stable condition. The woman was pronounced deceased at the scene of the accident, and was hoisted off the cliff by the helicopter.
