Mendocino County Sheriff Identifies Man Who Fell from Fort Bragg Cliff

Death Investigation featureThe Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office has identified the man whose body was recovered from the base of a coastal cliff in Fort Bragg earlier this month.

Bjorn L. Miller, 37, of Yukon, Oklahoma, was found April 11 at the bottom of a steep cliff near the 31000 block of Bay View Avenue, about 70 feet below the clifftop near the Pacific Ocean shoreline. Fort Bragg Fire Department personnel assisted deputies in recovering his remains from the rocks near the waterline.

An autopsy performed Tuesday found the preliminary cause of death to be blunt force trauma to the head and trunk and submersion in ocean water. The manner of death remains pending while the forensic pathologist completes investigative reports.

Investigators have not identified suspicious circumstances at the scene and do not suspect criminal conduct at this stage. Miller’s vehicle was found near the cliff and secured as coroner’s property.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office at 707-463-4086 (option 1). Anonymous tips can be submitted to the non-emergency tip line at 707-234-2100.
