Bodies of 2 men discovered at Mount Rainier

Rangers at Mount Rainier National Park have recovered the bodies of two men from Tolmie Peak in the northwest corner of the park.

Park officials say the bodies were discovered on Saturday by hikers.

Officials say an investigation so far suggests the people died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds in the previous few days.

Officials say the men are ages 29 and 34, and neither are from Western Washington.

Their names haven’t been released because officials are notifying relatives.

The bodies were flown out by helicopter and turned over to the Pierce County Medical Examiner on Sunday.

    Missing NPF Administration

    Missing NPF is Missing in U.S. National Parks and Forests, and is not a federal or law enforcement agency. This website - and it’s associated social media profiles - are privately-organized and funded, based in Washington State, United States of America.

    About Missing NPF

    There is currently no centralized database for those who have gone missing in National Parks and/or Forests at the federal level.

    We have established this listing in an effort to provide a holistic measure of assistance, both to inform future search efforts and to establish an assistive resource for those who are currently living with the loss of a loved one. 

    Missing NPF supports the call for federal agencies to establish, maintain, and share a full listing of those missing in U.S. National Parks and Forests. Meanwhile, we have established our own, and seek your collaboration in providing a meaningfully-detailed source by which to expand public knowledge, identify trends, and empower future search efforts. Join us on this mission.
