Ray Humpherys of South Jordan died at age 66. He had been missing for six days after he left his family campsite to fetch water.
A spotter aboard the Department of Public Safety helicopter saw his gray clothing about 3 p.m. Tuesday and led search crews to his body, which was in the Middle Fork drainage area about 1½ miles from where he was last seen July 18.
The Summit County Sheriff's Office said his injuries were "consistent with the harsh terrain and environment."
“We are glad there is closure, but of course we are sad at the outcome,” said Summit County Lt.
