An Australian man, identified as Matthew Cameron Paton (also reported as 52 or 53 years old), dies after falling down a ravine during a hike on Peru’s Inca Trail toward Machu Picchu. Multiple outlets report that he is part of a group of tourists and is accompanied by a guide at the time of the incident. Rescuers search the area and later locate his body on Thursday at a significant distance down a steep slope or abyss, with reports placing the location about 300 metres and also about 400 metres from the point of the fall. One source states he is a sergeant with the Victoria Police Department. The information in the reports focuses on the circumstances of the fall, the search and recovery by a rescue team, and the discovery of the body near the trail area leading to Machu Picchu. The coverage does not provide details on what caused the fall, the immediate response by the group, or any investigation results beyond the recovery of the deceased hiker.
