I'm guessing he got knocked out on impact and had his lungs fill with water.

TOURIST DIES DURING THE MUSICAL VIDEO RECORDING OF DON DAY

One person died during the recording of a music video by the Ecuadorian artist Don Day. The victim, according to witnesses, was a tourist who had nothing to do with production.
The production team attended the Saturday morning of July 14 to the Laguna Salto de Oro resort in the Pedro Carbo canton of the province of Guayas for the filming of the video clip of the song "Hablando con la luna". On the site, according to one of the artist's collaborators, there was a group of tourists jumping from the top of a waterfall and one of them, despite the warnings, launched himself and did not come out of the water again.
The unfortunate event was captured in a video that also shows that the production team of the Ecuadorian artist is thrown into the water with the intention of rescuing him, however his efforts were in vain. It was also known that the intervention of police elements and Rescuers of the Fire Department did not give favorable results either.

So far we are waiting for more details from the authorities to know the identity of the deceased.

A little tidbit of information - 10 - 20% of drownings there is no water found in the lungs, and of those that do have water in, most have very little. I think it's something to do with the valve in our throats that automatically closes up.

Yes, took my current girlfriend lots of effort to keep that valve from closing up. Good thing she got it down finally, as before she was all teeth without any of that vital suction on your 'german helmet'.

Kudos to the film crew, they really sprung into action and seemed to go above the call of duty (for the negligent dipshit high diver).

He could have broken his neck. I fell down a steep hill once, and after crashing to the bottom I sat up and couldn't breath for 20-30 seconds. ("wind knocked out of him" saying?) Anyway, if I was under water, I can't even imagine, it was a surreal terrifying event the way it was, add water - there wouldn't have been a recovery for that.
