According to YCSO, the 79-year-old Maine resident was hiking with his wife, and witnesses reported that he seemed to be struggling, but when passersby asked if he needed help, he said he was fine.
Minutes later, the man slipped and fell about 30 feet down the steep embankment, hitting his head; and he was pronounced deceased at the scene.
