Another man died Saturday evening after falling from Arethusa Falls in Livermore, near Crawford Notch.
New Hampshire Fish & Game says the average height of the falls is about 70 feet. At its tallest, it’s double that height – the state’s second highest waterfall.
Officials identified the Rumney Rocks accident victim as 68-year-old Michael Hubert of Woburn, Mass. They have yet to release the name of the other person.
