Police report fatal fall on Mackinac Island

MACKINAC ISLAND, MI--   A man is dead after he fell from Arch Rock on Mackinac Island.

The body of the unidentified individual was found Wednesday morning at the bottom of the rock formation.

Island Police Chief Douglas Topolski doesn’t believe foul play was involved.

The man was in an area blocked off from the public. He has been tentatively identified, but no name has yet been released.

The arch rises 146 feet above Lake Huron. Officials believe the man lay at the base of the rock for several hours until a passerby found him.  

Nicole was born near Detroit but has lived in the U.P. most of her life. She graduated from Marquette Senior High School and attended Michigan State and Northern Michigan Universities, graduating from NMU in 1993 with a degree in English.
