Summary
Monday's recovery ended a dayslong search for Wang Zyuan, a 33-year-old Chinese cruise passenger who vanished on May 27 while hiking Mount Liamuiga alone on St. Kitts.
Police said Wang called 911 that afternoon to report he was lost, but contact was later lost and authorities have not disclosed a cause of death.
Multiple agencies and volunteers searched the mountain area before locating his body; the investigation remains ongoing and police urged the public to avoid speculation.
Mount Liamuiga, a dormant volcano rising nearly 3,800 feet, is marketed by a cruise company as an extremely strenuous trail that can turn muddy and slippery.
