A hiker who died over the weekend in the Beaver Creek Wildlife Area has been identified.
Fremont County Coroner Randy Keller said 47-year-old Daniel Edwards died before the Search and Rescue team could get to him and his hiking partner. Keller said the cause of death cannot be determined at this time, but pending an autopsy, the cause of death appears natural.
The Fremont County Search and Rescue team was dispatched Saturday in response to an emergency call. The team was tasked with retrieving two hikers from the Beaver Creek Wildlife Area nearly three miles up the Powerline Trail Loop.
