California crews recovered the body of a man from Reno.

Fresno County Sheriff’s Office says their Search and Rescue (SAR) team found the body of a man on Sunday who fell while climbing Mount Humphreys. Mt. Humphreys is just under 14,0000 feet in elevation. 

Officials identified the man as 52 year old Paul Sheykhzadeh of Reno. Sheykhzadeh worked as a doctor and volunteered as a SAR member for the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office in Nevada.

A man with a different hiking group saw the fall and was able to scale the granite slope but when he got to Sheykhzadeh it was too late. Officials say he died on scene. The hiker was able to make a report to the Inyo County Sheriff’s Office.

SAR called in the California Air National Guard to use one of its CH-47 Chinook helicopters because of the high elevation. A total of seven Fresno SAR members were flown to the top of the mountain and then rappelled 370 feet down to Sheykhzadeh. They then hoisted his body up to the helicopter.

In honor of Sheykhzadeh’s service to Washoe County Search and Rescue, the Fresno County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue team took an American flag with them and draped it over the victim at the recovery site.
