DUXBURY, Vt. — A Colorado man was found dead on Camels Hump in Duxbury on Oct. 28, Vermont State Police said.

Two hikers called police at about 11:35 a.m. to report finding a man's body about 1.5 miles up the Forest City Trail from its parking area in Huntington, according to the state police. Rescue crews hiked to the spot and found the man, later identified as Jason April, 50, of Denver.

Police said there was no indication that the death was suspicious. April's body was carried off the mountain and taken to the Chief Medical Examiner's Office in Burlington for an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death.

State police were joined by Huntington Rescue, Richmond Rescue, Waterbury Backcountry Rescue and game wardens from the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife in the recovery. The trail was closed for much of the afternoon while crews worked and has since reopened, police said.

The state police released no further details.
