KINGMAN – A Kingman man reportedly died following a cliff dive at Lake Havasu. The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) identified the victim of the Saturday, Sept. 23 incident as Ethan Aguilar, 24.
MCSO personnel responded at 10:53 a.m. to a reported drowning in the area of the Standard Wash Cove in the southern portion of Lake Havasu.
