MOUNT VERNON, IOWA – On Friday, May 22, around 3:45pm, the DNR was notified of a person who had fallen on a trail at Palisades-Kepler State Park and had lacerations to his head.
Four hikers came upon Brian Jungen, 32, of Coralville, along Cedar Cliff Trail. Jungen was lying along the trail near a bench and was bleeding from lacerations on his head. The hikers were able to speak briefly with the victim before he blacked out.
The hikers called 911 and first responders from Mount Vernon and Lisbon, as well as Linn County Sheriff’s Office deputies and DNR park rangers responded to the scene.
When they arrived on scene, they were not able to detect a pulse from Jungen and began immediate medical attention. Jungen was pronounced dead at the scene.
DNR park rangers continue to investigate this incident.

Why do all articles on this site turn into political BS.
Don’t you professional politicians have a life outside NIT. Pathetic, to say the least.
No, they don’t. They love it here on NIT and no one can blame them for spending the day and the evening here; they are always welcome.
What happened to the 6 comment about this article???
Was wondering the same thing. Figured I was blocked from commenting. Haha
I would think the owner of the site decided that the disgusting posts were not appropriate and I, for one, appreciate it.
The owner of the site is a fascist Dimocrat and apparently so are you. I’ve seen way worse shit posted on here talking about Trump or any conservative.
Trump talks worse than everybody. Makes accusations that would get a kid’s face slapped by his mother in a real world. Hes a pig.
Yeah but he says it to and about scumbags that hate the USA and they think their shit don’t stink. President Trump isn’t a pc politician and that’s why we hired him and that’s why he will get rehired.
Like Jeff Sessions? John McCain? Barack Obama?
Exactly!
Fascinating.
You are an ass
The truth hurts your feelings doesn’t it?
This Iowa not New York
what does new York have to do with an iowa death???? did someone from ny push him off a cliff???
No, but your stupidity hurts my sense of well-being. I think people as unkind and unthinking as you should be locked up, or at least your ma should put the muzzle back on you.
I think your ma should have aborted you, but judging by your use of the word ma you were born before Roe VS Wade.
