An Australian hiker, Jordan Yap, who went missing during a solo trek in Peru, is found dead in a remote mountain area, according to reports citing family and authorities.
Yap, 30 and from Melbourne, was last heard from in mid-September as he prepared for a planned 10-day journey along Peru’s Huayhuash mountain range, about 400km north-east of Lima. Multiple outlets report that he failed to return home after going missing on the trail, prompting searches and renewed concern among relatives.
Across coverage, outlets consistently place the incident in the Huayhuash region and describe the timeline as beginning with Yap’s last contact around 14 September. One report adds that his family hired a private rescue team after he vanished, while other outlets focus on tributes and confirmation of his death from official or family sources. Details of the circumstances leading to his death are not provided in the summaries.
