San Jose Hiker Found Dead in Yosemite National Park

A San Jose hiker missing since last month has been found dead in Yosemite National Park, authorities said.

National Park Service officials announced on Monday that the remains of 48-year-old Scott Tenczar, a native of San Jose, were found Saturday in a northeastern area of the park.

The cause of his death remains under investigation.

Tenczar, who was described as an experienced backpacker, was last seen at a ranger station east of Yosemite on July 25.

His was the second body found in the park in less than a week.

Authorities reported Friday that the body of park ranger John Cogdell, who vanished a few days earlier, had been found. No other details were provided.
