A Bagatelle, Diego Mar­tin man is miss­ing af­ter re­port­ed­ly falling from the edge of a cliff in the ear­ly hours of yes­ter­day morn­ing.

Ter­ry Hink­son, of Sea Trace, was with his broth­er and friends near a cliff be­hind the TSTT fa­cil­i­ty on North Post Road, Diego Mar­tin, when he al­leged­ly fell asleep on a rock near the cliff’s edge around 4 am.

Ac­cord­ing to re­ports, short­ly af­ter­ward, the group heard a splash and re­alised Hink­son was no longer with them.

It is be­lieved he fell ap­prox­i­mate­ly 15 feet in­to the wa­ter be­low. At­tempts by the group to res­cue him were un­suc­cess­ful, and his body re­port­ed­ly van­ished be­neath the sur­face.

Emer­gency ser­vices were im­me­di­ate­ly con­tact­ed, and po­lice and Coast Guard of­fi­cers launched a search.

The ef­fort re­sumed yes­ter­day but as of 5 pm, Hink­son had not been found.
