LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz. (AP) - Police in Lake Havasu City are investigating the death of a person on a mountain near Sara Park.
Mohave County Sheriff’s search and rescue units were deployed to a recovery mission Sunday morning.
Police say hikers had found a leg of a dead person protruding from a small ledge on the side of a mountain face.
An Arizona Department of Public Safety helicopter took a technical rope team to the top of the mountain and lowered the body to the bottom of the canyon.
Authorities say the body has been taken to the county medical examiner investigator to determine the cause of death.
The name, age and gender of the dead person haven’t been released yet and it’s unclear how long the body had been on the mountain.
