A Largo teen has died after he cliff-dove into an inactive lime-rock mining quarry, the second person in two months to die after illegally entering a Marion County quarry, deputies said.

Trey Austin Dagwan Cardozo, 17, was found unresponsive in the quarry at 6400 block of NW Gainesville Road in Ocala at about 3:45 p.m. Monday by Marion deputies. He died Tuesday morning at Ocala Regional Medical Center.

The cliff Cardozo jumped from was reportedly 60 feet high.

Cardozo's friends provided us with shared pictures from his Instagram page. They also shared a picture he posted on Snapchat just before he jumped that read “Bless me.”

“I saw on his Snapchat story that he had posted that he was going to go cliff diving or whatever, and we saw him hanging out with some kids," Cardozo’s friend and neighbor, Destiny Winter said. "Never seen them before. I don’t recognize them from his friend group.”

Winter and Mikhala Morrison said they’ve known Cardozo for years. They said the teen was always a risk taker.

“He did all that type of stuff," said Morrison. "He just did a bunch of stuff like that, but he just did it wrong this time.”

Social media inspired act?

Hours before Cardozo's incident, 13 people (12 adults and one juvenile) were arrested on trespassing charges after deputies said they broke in to try to swim at the inactive lime rock quarry at the 2500 block of NW 77th Street in Ocala. On June 25, three minors trespassed in this same area, deputies said.

Cardoza is the second person to die after trespassing and trying to swim or dive in an Ocala-area lime rock quarry in two months, investigators said. Zachary Isaiah Newton, 18, of Tampa died May 27 after jumping into water at the Hard Rock Cycle Park on NW Gainesville Road.

In all of the cases, the people involved saw videos on social media of quarry trespassers and wanted to try it themselves, deputies said.

“I did some research -- actually I found out after and they were saying a lot of kids see the videos and they decide to go," said Winter. "It’s definitely something he would do, because he was very liked and he liked to keep it that way, and I’m thinking it was a little bit of peer pressure, because that’s something Trey would definitely do."

“I’m kind of afraid that’s what happened, was he was just trying to do what his friends were doing, and it didn’t turn out well for him,” Winter said.

The deputy who helped pull Cardozo out of the water said he was in the water with another teen, who survived the jump.  

Deputies will now actively patrol these areas to enforce trespassing laws, the Sheriff's Office said.
