She died after falling 80 feet down a slope in a restricted area near McWay Falls in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, deputies said.

Ishie was a Hospital Corpsman, the U.S. Navy confirmed Saturday.

"We are deeply saddened by the loss of Hospital Corpsman Marie Ishie," said Captain Kimberly Davis, the commanding officer of the Naval Medicine Readiness and Training Command San Diego. "She was a rising star within our Navy Medicine family."

The sheriff's office said there is nothing suspicious about Ishie's death and has ruled out suicide.
