A California hiker who went missing a month ago has been found dead near a frozen summit in the San Gabriel Mountains, officials said.
The body was discovered about 300 feet below the summit of Mount Islip in the Angeles National Forest on Saturday, Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department’s Special Enforcement Bureau (LASD) said.
The hiker was identified as Robert Gregory, 62, a resident of Hawthorne who had been missing since January, FOX11 Los Angeles reported.
