Man’s Body Found In Remote Section Of Park

On May 2nd, a park trail crew found a man’s remains on the East Bank trail in the Ross Lake portion of the park, about 24 miles from Canada and eight miles from the Highway 20 trailhead. It’s not known which way he was heading, but a Canadian phone card was found on his body along with some herbal supplements. The victim was of Asian origin and about 30 years old. Cotton clothing and an estimate that one to two months had elapsed since his death suggest that he may have succumbed to hypothermia. No one has been reported missing in that area, nor has anyone been reported missing who matches his description. The body was evacuated from the remote setting by helicopter and turned over to Whatcom County. The investigation is continuing.
