A porn actor wanted in California for allegedly murdering a colleague with a samurai sword has jumped to his death after a standoff with police.
Officers from Los Angeles Police Department had been negotiating with him for several hours on Saturday.
Television footage of the incident showed Hill scrambling off the edge of the cliff feet first as police moved in.
"He jumped down off the cliff after he was tased," LAPD spokesman Bruce Borihanh said.
It is unclear if the 34-year-old died from being tasered, the fall or possibly landing on the sword he had with him. An investigation is under way.
Hill had been wanted for one count of murder and five counts of attempted murder after attacking colleagues at a pornographic film distribution company warehouse in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
Saturday's drama began when police received a tip-off that Hill had been spotted at a property in the San Fernando Valley.
He was discovered and subsequentely cornered by officers at the edge of a steep cliff near the house, where he had threatened to kill himself, police have said.
Hill, who has appeared in several porn films under the stage name "Steve Driver," is alleged to have murdered fellow actor Herbert Wong at the warehouse-style offices of Ultima DVD on Tuesday.
Wong, who had appeared in two films with Hill under the name "Tom Dong," died as he tried to help other staff to escape.
Hill's rampage appeared to have been triggered by the discovery that he was about to be fired and evicted from the office where he had been living, according to local media reports.
