The Monterey County Sheriff's appointment has articular one of the victims as Mary "Katie" Connell. The name of her companion, a Finnish instructor, has not yet been released.
The appalling video shows Connell jumping 300 anxiety from the California bridge, missing her ambition beneath and landing in Bixby Creek, which feeds into the ocean.
The anonymous Finnish man is afresh apparent jumping in afterwards Connell, attempting to accomplishment her as she disappears into the asperous waves.
Monterey County Sheriff's appointment administrator John Thornburg says the recovered footage is harder to watch.
"They both allocution about the plan to alluvion and afresh acreage on the baby bank at the alpha of the video," Thornburg tells PEOPLE. "Then she gets accessible to jump and you apprehend a acclamation from her as she flies through the air to the bank below."
He adds, "Unfortunately, she acreage in the asperous seas and as anon as she does, she's overtaken by a wave."
Thornburg says you can see Connell's arch pop up from the baptize already afore she is hit by two added after-effects – and never apparent again.
"After she goes under, you see him jump and he acreage on the beach, area they were declared to acreage in the aboriginal place," says Thornburg. "You see him yield his shoot-harness off and cast his helmet into the sand. That's if the camera turns off."
Thornburg says the anticipation is that the bearding Finnish man afresh runs into the ocean to save Connell and drowns.
"We accept notified the admiral that we accept he has died," he says. "We are alive to try and acquisition the ancestors and will not be absolution his name until then."
The California administrator says BASE jumping (a thrill-seeking action area humans bound off anchored objects) is actual accepted off of Bixby Bridge, but that there has never been a afterlife accompanying to the action there to his knowledge.
"Bixby Arch is in fact absolutely accepted with suicide attempts, because it's simple to get swept abroad by the water," he says. "When we got the GoPro video processed, we knew it was not a assassination or suicide though, just a abhorrent accident."
Dive and air teams accept been analytic for any assurance of the BASE jumpers, but so far annihilation has been found.
