A curious 22-year-old has died after climbing a fence in Vancouver's Stanley Park and plunging from the cliffs of Prospect Point.

The accident happened Saturday as Abbotsford resident Mai David Huy Huynh was visiting the park with friends.

They say they noticed he was missing at about 6 p.m. and a short time later his body was found on the seawall, 70 metres below.

Vancouver police and the coroners service are continuing an investigation.
