Sad To Hear

A hiker was found dead in the Catskill mountains in New York.

A hiking trip in the Catskills turns deadly for one man.

State Police and recovery crews spent much of Thursday afternoon on the scene in Tannersville, clearing a little before 5:00.

A 911 call brought crews to the Roaring Kill trailhead of the Indian Head Plateau Mountain Wilderness Area in Greene County.

A group of female hikers was up on the trail when they discovered the body of a man.

It's believed the man may have been there at least overnight.[...]

As of airtime, State Police had not released the man's identity yet.

People on the scene say it appears he was in his 50s and that he may have suffered a heart attack.

My condolences to his friends and family.
Update: The hiker has been Identified.

Police identified the man as Terry R. Finger, 59, of Columbia, Mo. His body was discovered near a wooded area in rough terrain off the Pecoy trail, about 3 miles from Roaringkill Road.
