The body of an Arizona hiker was recovered Friday after he apparently “slipped and fell to his death” while hiking near Sedona, according to authorities
The 38-year-old man was hiking an “extremely technical” section of one of the main trails to the top of Bell Rock Butte when he fell, according to a news release from the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff’s office received a welfare check call Thursday afternoon for a man who hadn’t shown up to work. Deputies found the man’s vehicle in the parking lot at Bell Rock and pinged his phone, which showed he was in the area, according to the release.
The search resumed at first light Friday, according to the release. The extensive search mission included search dogs, technical rescuers, a mountain bike team, and a drone team. Eventually, Verde Search and Rescue was able to ascend to the top area of the mountain and “visually inspect each of the deep crevasses.” It was there they discovered the man’s remains. He “looked to have been taking one of the main trails to the very top of the mountain,” wrote the sheriff’s office.
