SUMMIT COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) - A man has died while cliff diving in green mountain reservoir in Summit County.

Searchers later found the man's body nearly 70 feet below the surface.

"We don't encourage people to go up there, it's all over the internet on YouTube... It's not a good place or a safe place to go recreate," Sheriff Jaime Fitzsimons of the Summit County Sheriff's Department said.

The coroner's office reports the man was from Oklahoma, but lived in Denver.
