A hiker was declared dead Saturday after being pulled from a ravine following a fall along a Mt. Wilson trail.<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles Sheriff\u2019s Department responded to a report shortly before noon of a male adult who had fallen \u201ca significant distance,\u201d a statement by the department issued Sunday said.<\/p>\n
Firefighter specialist Pauline McGee said the incident occurred at Mt. Wilson Road and the Little Santa Anita fire break.<\/p>\n
Personnel from the sheriff\u2019s Temple Station, the Air 5 rescue helicopter and the Sierra Madre Search & Rescue teams responded, the statement said.<\/p>\n
The report did not clarify whether the hiker died of injuries suffered in the fall or a medical event. A spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County Fire Department, which also responded, said reports indicated that responding sheriff\u2019s deputies administered CPR before declaring the man dead.<\/p>\n
An investigation into the circumstances of the fall continues, but no foul play is suspected, the sheriff\u2019s statement said. The Los Angeles County coroner\u2019s office will respond to conduct itson-scene investigation, it said.<\/p>\n
The sheriff\u2019s department advised hikers to use caution on the trails and be mindful of changing terrain conditions.<\/p>\n
The online trail review site AllTrails describes the 14-mile trail as \u201crocky, exposed, and steep in several sections.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A hiker was declared dead Saturday after being pulled from a ravine following a fall along a Mt.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":298136,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[20769,6246,167,16538,19082,348,48,52,51,47,50,49,63,126345,45275,3729,14682,2637,126347,3025,126346],"class_list":["post-298135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-air","tag-department","tag-deputy","tag-fall","tag-hiker","tag-investigation","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-los-angeles-times","tag-mt-wilson-trail","tag-personnel","tag-report","tag-rescue-helicopter","tag-sheriff","tag-sierra-madre-search","tag-statement","tag-temple-station"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=298135"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298135\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/298136"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=298135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=298135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=298135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
