A man who was killed by falling rocks on Mount Baker in northwest Washington has been identified as 25-year-old Hyun Seo, of Bothell.
BELLINGHAM, Wash. -- A man who was killed by falling rocks on Mount Baker in northwest Washington has been identified as 25-year-old Hyun Seo, of Bothell.
The Whatcom County sheriff's office said Sunday that Seo reportedly was standing at the bottom of a cliff at the 6,500-foot level of the 10,778-foot mountain when a large piece of rock broke off and fell on him.
The accident was reported about 11 p.m. Friday by other members of Seo's climbing party.
It occurred near the party's campsite in the Squauk Glacier area on the south side of the mountain east of Bellingham.
The death came three days after 31-year-old Eduard Burceag, of Bellevue, died when he and two others were trapped in a blizzard on Mount Rainier, another Cascade Range volcano 130 miles south of Mount Baker.
