Investigators believe the man likely fell from a ledge off the designated Rock Canyon trail area. A hiker Wednesday morning found the man’s body, which was dressed in a T-shirt and basketball shorts. He did not have a wallet or any other kind of identification on him, police said.
Investigators found a cellphone in the area where the man’s body was found and were able to confirm the man’s identity using data on the phone, Post said.
