Body of missing Whitefish climber recovered from Glacier
The body of missing mountaineer Grant Marcuccio, a 32-year-old man from Whitefish, was recovered Sunday from alpine terrain in Glacier National Park.
Glacier Park officials said in a media release on Monday that Marcuccio’s body was found by Two Bear Air at approximately 2 p.m. His cause of death is still under investigation, but traumatic injuries and location of the body are indicative of a fall, the release stated.
Two Bear Air spotted Marcuccio from the air. He was found one-third of a mile east of 8,413-foot McPartland Peak below the ridgeline between Heavens Peak and McPartland Peak. The area is west of Going-to-the-Sun Road on the parks’ west side.
