PHOENIX (AP) — The body of a man has been found on a hiking trail near Phoenix’s South Mountain, according to authorities.
Phoenix firefighters said their technical rescue team was dispatched to the Corona Trail Mountain after receiving reports of an unconscious male.
Crews located the man about 1 ½ miles from the trailhead, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities said the trail is considered moderate to difficult and does have some steep elevations.
Police didn’t immediately release the man’s name, but they said there were no obvious signs of trauma or foul play.
The cause of death will be determined by the Maricopa County Medical Examiner.
