MEXICO CITY (AP) — Searchers on Friday found the body of an American man who had been missing in the rugged mountains in central Mexico since going on a hike four days ago.
Carlos Mandujano, the civil defense coordinator for Morelos state, said a search team found the lifeless body of Hari Simran Singh Khalsa, 25.
He was found in one of the narrow gorges or ravines that crisscross the rugged mountains in the colonial town of Tepoztlan, not far from where he was last seen in a picture of himself that he sent by cellphone.
"He has been found, but unfortunately, dead," Mandujano said. "We don't know the cause of death yet; that will be determined by the autopsy."

A large search began on the day the 25-year-old northern Virginia man went missing after he went on a day hike wearing only a T-shirt and shorts and carrying little food and water. Ad Purkh Kaur last heard from her husband that afternoon in a text message saying he'd accidentally summited another mountain and would be later than expected. (AP Photo/Courtesy of Ad Purkh Kaur)
