Authorities seek identity of body found in mountains
Authorities are trying to identify a man found dead in the McCullough Mountains on Thursday.
Las Vegas police said the man’s body was spotted by wildlife biologists flying a helicopter over a remote location in the mountain range, which is south of Henderson.
Sources said the body was severely decomposed and had likely been there for more than a month. He did not have identification.
The man may have fallen off a cliff, sources said.
The man was wearing a white shirt and blue shorts. His race could not be determined.
The Clark County coroner’s office will identify the man.
