Sad To Hear
A hiker dies on Longs Peak in Colorado.
The hiker who died yesterday in Rocky
Mountain National Park
has been identified as Maynard Brandsma, 61, of
Durango.
Brandsma died from an apparent heart attack near the summit of Longs
Peak
on Monday morning. The Boulder
County
coroner will conduct an autopsy today to determine an official cause
of death.
Brandsma was hiking with a family member when he fell ill in the
Homestretch area of 14,259-foot Longs Peak.
My condolences to his friends and family.
