JAKARTA - A man died after falling from a cliff as high as 1,981 feet (604 meters) in Norway featured in the film 'Mission Impossible'.

Preikestolen, known as Pulpit Rock is a cliff in southwest Norway overlooking Lysefjord. This is one of Norway's most famous mountain climbs and is visited by more than 300,000 visitors each year, according to the country's official tourism website.

Nina Thommesen, a police lawyer for the polytistical Sryptor-Vest, confirmed that a man in his 40s died on Monday, June 3. He said the man traveled alone and was found with his cell phone and identity card. He has not been officially identified, but police said they were "sufficiently sure" about his identity.

"The police are investigating this case as a fall accident," Thommesen told CNN quoted Thursday, June 6.

We don't have any assumption that something criminal has happened.

Two witnesses were examined, including one person who saw the incident. He explained that the man slipped and fell.

The cliff was used as the shooting location for Mission: Impossible Fallout for the action scene at the end of the 2018 film, where the two main characters of the film fell off the cliff.
