Doctors tell the family of 19 year Austin Elder from Arkansas that he will not survive his injuries after falling 100 feet from a cliff south of Boxley, Arkansas,  earlier this week.

Elder suffered two massive strokes at a hospital in Springfield where has been treated.

His family says he will be taken off of life support on Saturday and his organs will be donated.

Elder was camping with a friend when he fell off the cliff early in the morning.

Rescuers reached him around 6 p.m. after his friend was able to get to a place with cellular phone service.
