A Liberty University student died Sunday at the Fallingwater Cascades National Scenic Trail on the Blue Ridge Parkway, according to friends and rescue officials.
Jonathan Veldhuyzen, 20, was found facedown in a body of water below the falls around 6 p.m. Sunday, his roommate, Joseph Elijah McGowan, said Monday.
Bedford Fire Capt. Matt Scott said the department received a report at 6:36 p.m. that a person possibly drowned at the site, located at mile marker 83 across the parkway from the Flat Top Mountain hiking trail entrance.
“While we were en route up there, we were informed the subject had fallen into a body of water and they had pulled the subject out and were performing CPR on him at the scene,” Scott said in a phone interview Monday morning.
He said the victim was dead when crews arrived.
