An American base jumper who went missing on June 13 was found dead in Spiti valley of Lahaul and Spiti on Sunday.

According to the SP, on June 13, Bokstahlar was reported missing at Kaza, prompting an immediate search operation. The same day, his rented motorcycle was found abandoned near a remote location close to Tashigang, yet no more information about his whereabouts was found.

“On June 14, with the help of the Dogra Regiment of the Army, a drone identified a parachute lodged in a deep ravine between Kee and Tashigang. Given Bokstahlar’s background in base jumping, authorities suspected that the parachute could be his. Subsequently, on June 15, specialised teams from the ITBP and SDRF were deployed to conduct a rescue operation,” the SP said.
