U.S. NATIONAL NEWS
from Eyewitness News Online 1 hiker dies, 1 rescued on Catskill peak March 15, 2010 9:09 PM HENSONVILLE, N.Y. Searchers have found a Poughkeepsie, N.Y. man dead near the summit of a remote Catskill peak after he and a friend lost their way in a snowstorm and developed hypothermia. A spokeswoman for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation says the body of 49-year-old Seth Lyon was removed this evening from Blackhead Mountain, about 100 feet from where 50-year-old Alberto Risenberg of Virginia was found last night in a snow shelter the two had dug. The spokeswoman says the men stayed at a leanto Friday night and went for a day hike Saturday morning. They called 911 from a cell phone around 9:30 p.m. Saturday. After spending Saturday night in a snow shelter, Lyon tried to hike out Sunday morning without snowshoes but Risenberg stayed behind. Searchers covered about 20 miles of trails buried under 8 feet of snow. |
