A 28-year-old Australian hiker who lost contact with his family while hiking the Continental Divide Trail between Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks in Wyoming has been found dead, according to authorities.
The man, identified as William Standish, was discovered by rescuers on Wednesday morning in the Wigwams, a series of rocky peaks on the west slope of the Teton mountain range, the Teton county coroner said. Investigators say it was likely he suffered a fatal fall.
Standish had been attempting a thru-hike of the Continental Divide Trail between the Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks when he disappeared after contacting his family on 23 July, according to a statement from Teton county rescuers.
Evidence suggests Standish may have fallen from a steep ridgeline that separates Grand Teton and the Jedediah Smith wilderness, officials said.
