An Australian hiker, 28-year-old William Standish, is found dead in Wyoming after going missing while hiking the Continental Divide Trail in the area between Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks. Authorities say Standish lost contact with his family and that rescuers later located his body on Wednesday morning on the west slope of the Teton mountain range. The Teton County coroner reports the body was discovered in the Wigwams, a series of rocky peaks. Investigators state that his death is likely the result of a fatal fall, given the circumstances and evidence at the scene. One report describes evidence suggesting he may have fallen from a steep, high-altitude ridgeline separating Grand Teton National Park and the Jedediah Smith Wilderness. Officials have not reported any confirmed foul play in the available accounts, and the cause of death is being treated as a fall pending further investigation and any additional findings from the coroner’s office.
