WENATCHEE, Wash. (AP) — An autopsy is scheduled to determine the cause of death for a missing hiker whose body was found off a trail near Windy Pass in the Leavenworth area.
Chelan County Sheriff Mike Harum says the body of Mark Swenson was found by a hiker Saturday at the 7,000-foot level of a trail that leads to Mount Cashmere in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness.
Harum told The Wenatchee World it appears he was cutting across country, rather than staying on the trail. There was no indication of a fall or other injury.
The 56-year-old Soap Lake man had been missing since July 6.
