PHOENIX — The Maricopa County Medical Examiner's office has identified the body found on Camelback Mountain on September 8.
The individual was identified as 63-year-old missing person Harald Schindler-Chudzinsky, who was visiting Phoenix from Mexico City.
Phoenix Fire crews were initially called to the Echo Canyon Trail on Monday afternoon for a hiker in need of a mountain rescue. The incident was updated to a "body recovery" after it was learned that the person was dead.
Navigating a remote area with steep terrain, police recovered Schindler-Chudzinsky's body one day after the search began.
Schindler-Chudzinsky was found off the trail, but it's not yet clear how long he was there.
A missing person report filed on September 2 from outside of Phoenix led to crews searching the trail, according to police.
Officials said there is no reason to believe foul play was involved.
ABC15 crews at the scene Tuesday morning saw crews recover the body with help from a helicopter around 7 a.m.
