SEATTLE (AP) — A national park spokeswoman says a search helicopter has spotted the body of an experienced mountain climber who was the son of boxing promoter Bob Arum.
North Cascades National Park Spokeswoman Kerry Olson says the body belonging to John Arum, a 49-year-old Seattle environmental attorney, was seen Friday at about the 7,700-foot level of Storm King mountain, an 8,815-foot peak in Washington state.
Olson says it wasn’t immediately possible to retrieve the body but it was clear to searchers in the helicopter that Arum was dead. She says those involved in the search say he likely died in a fall.
Arum been the object of a five-day search.
