Beloved NJ Doctor Fell 82 Feet To His Death, Authorities Say

KEARNY – Friends and many others are grieving in the wake of a New Jersey doctor's 82-foot fall to his death this past week.

Daniel Sirovich, 34, and his fiancé were sightseeing near a cliff in sa Pedrera de Cala d’Hort in Ibiza, an island off the coast of Spain, when he slipped and fell 82 feet on Wednesday, according to authorities and a GoFundMe page.

A nurse at the scene attempted to save Sirovich’s life, but emergency responders called off a helicopter sent to airlift him to a local hospital, according to EuroWeekly.

The page smashed its fundraising goal of $30,000, hitting $43,000 by Monday morning. "It's with a heavy heart I'm creating this GoFundMe page on behalf of Danny's family," wrote the page's creator, Gui Ramos.

Sirovich grew up in Kearny and studied at Rutgers University, according to WABC-TV.

Ramos said Sirovich was "by far the person with the most life that we had the pleasure to meet."

"He gave 120 percent in everything he did, from his studies, to work, to loving Kristi, his family, and friends," he wrote. "To living life to the fullest and truly enjoying each and every moment, seeing the whole world and appreciating every detail in music."

Ramos said Sirovich sacrificed 16 years of his life into his studies and work, and finished at the top of his class in medical school, before finally reaching his life's ultimate goal this year.

Sirovich was moving to Boston in 10 days for the position he waited so long for, to be a doctor in the intensive care trauma unit.

"Someone who saved many lives and didn't receive the opportunity to have someone save his," Ramos said.

"We are grieving and ask for your help to raise enough money to fly his body back home and for a proper funeral. Thank you for all the warm messages and condolences. Please note that all donations will go directly to his family."
