The body was discovered by another hiker on Sunday, July 2, on Eagle Peak, and was recovered the next day by a rescue crew. On Thursday, the Modoc County sheriff’s office said the man was Ben Kiyoshi Nomura-Weingrow, 44, of Oakland. The announcement described him as an experienced hiker who was familiar with the area.
The cause of death is not known, pending autopsy results, but the sheriff’s office said foul play is not suspected.
