Hikers found human remains in a Southern California mountain area where actor Julian Sands disappeared five months ago, authorities said.
The body discovered around 10am in the wilderness near Mount Baldy was transported to the coroner’s office for identification next week, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement.
Additional details were not immediately available.
Sands, an avid hiker and mountaineer, was reported missing on January 13 after setting out on the peak that rises more than 3048m east of Los Angeles. The region was pounded by severe storms during winter.
On Friday, his family released its first statement since Sands’ disappearance.
