Summary
Authorities recovered Gursimran Singh’s remains Monday in Washington’s Twin Sisters range, ending a search nearly two weeks after the British Columbia hiker disappeared.
A possible sighting reported Sunday sent crews back to the area with a helicopter rescue team and Bellingham Mountain Rescue Council, turning the effort into what officials called a recovery mission.
Singh had failed to return home in late June after rock scrambling near South Twin; his vehicle was later found along Middle Fork Road.
The search expanded across steep terrain with mountain rescue teams from around Washington, while helicopters, drones and U.S. Customs and Border Protection aircraft scanned the area.
His death came days after authorities also recovered another overdue hiker, Steven Dorsett, in Whatcom County’s Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.
