The body of one of the three skiers who was reported missing last weekend was found Monday in Mount Rainier National Park, Washington.

Matthew Bunker, 28, was found dead in a gap at the base of a cliff by rescue helicopters and search groups, according to CNN, citing the National Park Service.

The Seattle native was skiing at an altitude of more than 10,400 feet when he fell. The cause of his fall is still being determined.

“We convey our deepest condolences to Matthew’s dear people and friends … It makes us very sad because we cannot take him home to his family,” said Deputy Chief Inspector of Mount Rainier National Park, Tracy Swartout.

Bunker, who served in the military for five years, was lost in the same area as six other skiers lost again in 2014.

Two other men, Vincent Djie, who disappeared on June 19, and Talal Sabbagh, who disappeared on June 21, have still not been found.

“Every person missing at Mount Rainier is very alarming. Our collective hearts hurt with families and loved ones of those who are still missing, who seek solace and answers for the most difficult days of their lives, “Swartout said.
