Body of older male found in the hills behind CTH
At approximately 1:48 pm Tuesday a hiker in the hills between Carson Tahoe Hospital and Lakeview Estates discovered the remains of a deceased older male. The remains were largely buried in the snow. Detectives have processed the scene and removed the body for transport to the Washoe County Medical Examiners Office for an autopsy, scheduled for Thursday. Identification of the remains and cause of death will be determined by the Medical Examiner (ME).
There was a missing person report filed last week that might help the ME identify the body.
