Woman identified in fatal fall at Lacamas Lake Park

The Clark County medical examiner has identified the woman who died from a fall at Lacamas Lake Park as 37-year-old Tara L. Holyk.

Holyk, a Vancouver resident, died from multiple blunt force injuries caused by an accident, according to the medical examiner.

The Camas-Washougal Fire Department reported last week that Holyk fell in the Potholes area below the dam at Lacamas Lake Park on the evening of July 18.

The incident was reported about 7 p.m. Firefighters arrived to find Holyk had died of traumatic injuries. A technical rescue team spent three hours to safely recover her body.

The Potholes are on the west side of the park, below a dam that can be crossed via a footbridge.

According to a online fundraiser page set up for Holyk, she was a single mother raising three daughters.

“She was such a beautiful, upbeat, adventurous and an all around positive woman with a wonderful heart,” the Go Fund Me page says.

Donations will help move and raise her girls, and with apartment fees and funeral expenses.
