Hiker falls to death in Mont Blanc massif day after 4 climbers found dead on iconic peak
![](https://assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2024/09/11/393f1d98-4c49-414d-99e1-efb94331da60/thumbnail/1200x630/97eb28c8adff8b9864a393587dd1b614/ap24254648232566.jpg?v=eed8fba9acd13199742a248f804168a1)
A Danish hiker fell to his death Wednesday in the Mont Blanc massif in the French Alps after slipping from a trail, rescue services said, just one day after four climbers were found dead on the iconic peak.
The 61-year-old man was walking through a steep area near Saint-Gervais-les-Bains in the Haute-Savoie department of eastern France when he fell around 100 feet, officials said.
The fall killed the man instantly, the PGHM mountain police service in Chamonix said.
Wednesday’s fatality comes the day after four climbers, two Koreans and two Italians, were found dead on Mont Blanc itself after becoming stranded on the Alps’ highest peak for days in harsh weather.
The four mountaineers had “died of exhaustion,” the Haute-Savoie prefecture told AFP.
One senior PHGM commander told regional daily Le Dauphine Libere that they had briefly reached the Italian climbers by phone and gleaned their location 4,600 meters up on Mont Blanc’s north face, but that the connection had cut out.
At 4,809 meters, Mont Blanc is western Europe’s highest peak and very popular with climbers from all over the world. However, scaling the mountain is risky.
In 2022, a French mayor said conditions on Mont Blanc were so dangerous that climbers should pay a €15,000 deposit to cover rescue and possible funeral costs, the BBC reported. At the time, Jean-Marc Peillex, the mayor of Saint-Gervais, criticized “pseudo climbers” who insisted on attempting the climb “with death in their backpacks.”

Skeletal remains inside car found by fishermen in Illinois river identified as men who disappeared in 1976

DNA testing on skeletal remains found in a car pulled from an Illinois river confirmed they are those of two men who vanished in 1976 after leaving a farm auction, authorities said.
Testing performed by the Illinois State Police Division of Forensic Services confirmed they are the remains of Clarence Owens and Everett Hawley, the Winnebago County Coroner’s Office said Tuesday.
Hawley, 72, of Stockton, Illinois, and Owens, 65, of Freeport, Illinois, vanished after leaving a farm auction on Feb. 19, 1976, near the Winnebago-Ogle county line, the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office said
Hawley was a real estate broker in Freeport, while Owens was a salesperson in Hawley’s firm.
“This bring us one step closer to providing closure to the families of Clarence Owens and Everett Hawley who have waited many years for answers that have been affected by this tragic case,” Winnebago County Sheriff Gary Caruana said in a statement.
In March, people fishing along the Pecatonica River discovered a submerged vehicle in the river using a sonar fish finder.
“It’s quite challenging because it’s sitting in the mud, 8 to 10 feet, which is not that deep but deep enough,” Sheriff Caruana told CBS affiliate WIFR-TV after the discovery.

Recovery crews then used a crane to pull the 1966 Chevrolet Impala sedan from the river in the village of Pecatonica, the Rockford Register Star reported. The men had left the farm auction in that vehicle, authorities said.
Owens and Hawley were seen at the farm auction with the Impala, which belonged to Owens and which had a new coat of gold paint at the time, according to the Doe Network, a nonprofit database for information about missing and unidentified people. The men had attended a political rally in the area before stopping at the auction, and planned to make a shared appointment in German Valley, about 25 miles west of Winnebago County, after leaving the auction. They never made that appointment
More than 100 bones were retrieved from the vehicle and the river at the site about 100 miles west of Chicago. DNA extracted from the bones was compared with DNA profiles from the men’s relatives to identify them.
Before the DNA testing, the remains were examined by a forensic anthropologist in St. Louis, Missouri, who found no evidence of trauma.
Winnebago County Coroner Jennifer Muraski told WIFR-TV that how the two men died is still unknown, but no foul play is suspected.
“This is a testament to the dedication and perseverance of our detectives and forensic experts,” Sheriff Caruana said. “It’s a reminder that no case is ever truly closed no matter how much time has passed.”

Our picks for the biggest and best games of NFL Week 2
Week 2 of the 2024-2025 NFL season offers big-time matchups you won’t want to miss. Here are our picks for the top three games of the week, all available to watch live with a subscription to Fubo.
It’s not just that both the Saints and the Cowboys scored Week 1 victories, it’s how they won that has us adding Sunday’s New Orleans Saints vs. Dallas Cowboys game to our must-watch list. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott became the highest-paid player in NFL history, signing a four-year, $240-million contract extension prior to Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns. Prescott went on to completely dominate the Browns in a 33-17 thumping that revealed a vulnerable Browns offense.
Derek Carr led the Saints to a 47-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers. Carr’s historically uneven play was nowhere to be seen on Sunday, replaced by an energized and efficient slinger who missed just four of his 23 throws. If Carr and the Saints continue to excel as they did in Week 1, fans are guaranteed a top-tier game when the Saints face the Cowboys in Week 2.
- New Orleans Saints vs. Dallas Cowboys
- 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT)

The reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs ride into their Week 2 game against the Cincinnati Bengals following a 27-20 Week 1 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. The Chiefs won by a toe (literally) and showed off a tough defense that worked well together, beating a strong Ravens team expected to be championship-worthy this season. The Bengals suffered a messy Week 1 loss to the New England Patriots, but a healthy Joe Burrow should never be underestimated.
Burrow and Chiefs quarterback Pat Mahomes are the last two starting AFC quarterbacks to play in the Super Bowl and Burrow is one of two quarterbacks to beat Mahomes in the postseason. The other is Tom Brady, who will be calling the Saints vs. Cowboys game earlier in the day.
- Cincinnati Bengals vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Chicago Bears fans have delighted in the hope that USC alum Caleb Williams will finally bring winning to Soldier Field. So far, so good. Williams may have had a spotty NFL regular season debut on Sunday, but the Bears secured a win over the Tennessee Titans.
The Texans were victorious over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1 and sophomore quarterback C.J. Stroud proved he wasn’t a fluke last season. The Bears vs. Texans game gives the Texans a rare “Sunday Night Football” game that will display the skills of two future elite NFL quarterbacks. We’ll be watching.
- Chicago Bears vs. Houston Texans
