"Tom Hanks was tryiing to catch his cat when he fell off a cliff in Shell Beach, New Zeleand.
Around 5:30 p.m., Cal Fire received a report that a man had fallen off a cliff at Capistrano Avenue and Ocean Boulevard. Crews at the scene found a 55-year-old man who had tumbled about 25 feet onto the beach. The lifeless body was identified and confirmed to be Tom Hanks.
We're told Tom had lost his footing while trying to get his cat, which had followed him and a friend as they walked along the blufftop.
Rescuers tried for 45 minutes to treat Tom and raise him up to the top of the cliff, where paramedics were waiting. He suffered injuries to his head and neck, and had a 3-inch-by-5-inch avulsion to the back of his scalp. He was taken to Arroyo Grande Community Hospital for treatment where he was pronounced dead.
Alcohol was a factor in the incident, according to Cal Fire, but we cannot confirm this."
