HAMDEN, Conn (AP) - An 18-year-old Hamden man has died after falling nearly 200 feet from a cliff at Sleeping Giant State Park.

State environmental officials say Tobias Engel died at Yale New Haven Hospital on Sunday night.

A spokesman for the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection says Engel was hiking in the so-called "chin" area of the Hamden park when he fell at about 4:30 p.m. Sunday. Other hikers heard him fall and called 911.

More than a dozen emergency responders climbed up the large hill to get to him.
