Tree sitter dies in 50-foot fall:

The man, whose identity hasn't been released but went by the forest name "Naya," had only been in the tree for about 12 hours on Tuesday evening when he fell, according to Dennis Davie of the Santa Cruz contingent of Earth First!

"Santa Cruz Earth First! is deeply saddened by this tragic event, we never like to lose an activist," said Davie. "This was a young man in his first tree-sit."

Welcome to Room 101, Naya...
