ST. GEORGE, Utah — A person found by a passing bicyclist on a remote southern Utah trail later died after emergency crews performed life-saving measures.
Both Santa Clara-Ivins Fire and Washington County Search and Rescue teams responded Wednesday to the Stucki Springs Trail just west of St. George after receiving reports of the person being down.
The person, a male in his 60s, was believed to have been biking at the time.
Because of the trail's remote location, ground crews did not arrive until 40 minutes after they had been dispatched. Despite efforts to save the person, they later died on the scene.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office has opened an investigation into the person's death, and the body was transported to the medical examiner's office.
