Authorities say a woman fell about 60 feet to her death after she chased her dog off a cliff in the Mendocino headlands.

Danny Hervilla, chief of the Mendocino Volunteer Fire Department, says witnesses saw the woman disappear over the cliff while running after her black dog Sunday evening.

He says the woman's body was recovered from a small, rocky beach area, where high tides and rough surf threatened to pull the body out to sea.

Her identity has not been released.

Her dog, which had fallen about halfway down the cliff, was later rescued.

Hervilla says the woman is the fourth person to die after a fall from the cliffs in the area in the past 18 months.
