A rescue team has recovered the body of an artist who fell to his death in Yosemite National Park, officials said Sunday.
Stephen Lyman, 38, of Sandpoint, Idaho, apparently fell 30 to 50 feet in a steep rocky gully in the Cathedral Rocks area of the park, the National Park Service said.
His body was recovered late Saturday.
Lyman was reported missing Thursday after he failed to appear for an interview to promote his recently released book, “Into the Wilderness, An Artist’s Journey.” Two rock climbers spotted his body in the Cathedral Rocks area late Friday, the National Park Service said.
The new book features Lyman’s paintings and photographs from Yosemite, Alaska and northern Idaho.
