Witnesses say Dahn appeared to hit the water awkwardly after jumping off a cliff. He never resurfaced.

First responders were called to the quarry at around 12:30 p.m. Sunday. Dive teams worked until 7 p.m. when the lack of light forced them to stop. The man's body was found Monday morning in 70 feet of water.

Searchers used sonar to find Dahn's body.

The quarry, which is 100 feet deep, is littered with cars and junk, authorities said.
