Overview

• A 54-year-old man was found dead Friday night after a 911 call from a hunting party in the South San Juan Wilderness, according to local reports.
• Members of the group attempted CPR before first responders arrived, but the man had died by the time rescuers reached the remote location.
• Hazardous nighttime conditions prevented helicopter access, and recovery teams waited until morning to retrieve the body.
• Officials have not released the man’s identity; he is believed to be from Tennessee, and investigators have not determined a cause of death.
• The discovery occurred near where elk hunters Andrew Porter and Ian Stasko, both 25, were found earlier this month, with a coroner indicating their deaths were likely caused by lightning.
