SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK, Calif. — A pilot from France who disappeared while hiking California's towering Mount Whitney was found dead after falling about 1,000 feet off a cliff, the National Park Service said Friday. The hiker was identified as Tom Gerbier of Fontenay-sous-Bois, France, who was a pilot for Air France, the park service said in a statement. He was 38, according to a missing poster issued by the Inyo County Sheriff's Office, which was part of the search.
The park service and local authorities sent ground teams to the area Thursday. The searchers spotted clues that someone may have fallen off a cliff in an area called “The Notch,” and a helicopter crew directed there spotted a motionless person in clothing matching Gerbier's description. The body was recovered by helicopter that evening, and the Tulare County Sheriff's Office confirmed Gerbier's identity.
