A 28-year-old man is dead after police found him half a mile from the Falling Rivers Trail in Franconia, New Hampshire, on Christmas morning, authorities said.
The man started hiking at 11 a.m. near the 8.6-mile Bridle Path and Falling Waters Loop in the White Mountains, and had been tracked throughout the day by a relative in China, New Hampshire Fish & Game Conservation said.
Around 6:15 p.m., the family reported that the young man's phone battery was dying, and they believed he was off trail south of Mount Lincoln, officials said. At 9 p.m., they were informed that the young man had not returned yet, and began a search for him. Conservation officers reached Franconia Ridge by 2 a.m. on Christmas and found what they believed to be the hiker's tracks shortly afterward. Officers followed the tracks as they went off the trail, and found the man's body at 6:45 a.m., officials said.The man's family told officers he was an inexperienced hiker, and they did not know what he brought with him for equipment.
