The news of the successful search was confirmed by the information officer of the park. It was also told that John Arum’s dead body was found 300 feet below the place where his backpack and other belongings were located earlier this week. Kerry Olson, the information officer of the park, says that the team did not know where Arum fell.
John Arum was an experienced hiker who had a goal to reach 100 highest mountains of the Washington state. By the time of death, he had hiked more than 80 peaks. He was hiking on the mountain about 85 miles in the northeast of Seattle where he went missing. The family got worried when he failed to return home. John Arum was hiking alone.
John Arum’s body was found after a search of five days. The snow melting process on the mountain made it difficult for the search team who had previously made several rounds over the mountain. On Wednesday, the team located Arum’s backpack and other belongings on less difficult hiking trail of the mountain.
On Thursday, John Arum’s daypack, a smaller pack than the backpack, was found at a higher location. On Friday, his body was located 300 feet below that place with a lot of loose rock. Four helicopters and a search team of 20 people were used in the search.
John Arum is the son of Bob Arum, a boxing promoter. Bob Arum was on a three-city tour when he received the news of his son’s disappearance. He left the tour to join search team and to coordinate with them. John Arum was the eldest son of Bob Arum.
