An 18-year-old teen died Sunday after taking a fall while rock climbing with friends, according to authorities.
Colbee Cammarata-Hodgman of Nashua, New Hampshire, was climbing in Weare near the Everett Dam with friends when he fell behind the gazebo at the dam, according to WMUR. The area is not a designated climbing area, according to New Hampshire Fish and Game officials. Police received a call around 3:15 p.m., alerting them to the fall, WMUR reported.
“There’s a rock face in that area where he was hiking with some friends and unfortunately lost his footing on their hike and fell,” Sgt. Brandon Montplaisir reportedly said.
On behalf of the NTU, @NTUPresident Adam Marcoux expressed his deepest sympathy to the friends and family of Colbee Cammarata-Hodgman who tragically passed away on Sunday. He also expressed his sympathies to the @NHSSPanthers family. May he Rest In Peace.
