Missing man found dead on mountain
Print Edition
A Shanghai student who went missing last month during a trip to Huashan Mountain in Shaanxi Province has been found dead, a relative told Shanghai Daily yesterday.
Zhu Xianfeng’s body was found on a hillside about 150 meters beneath a place known as Yingzui Peak, where he was spotted by a surveillance camera at 2:49pm on January 25, said Zhu’s elder cousin Wang Wei. He added: “Police told us he might have fallen from the peak to his death.”
Local police confirmed Zhu’s death but refused to give more details.
Wang said Zhu’s body was found by five local residents around 2pm on February 3, several hours after the family hired them to launch a search.
The 24-year-old student at Shanghai University of International Business and Economics traveled alone to Xi’an, capital of Shaanxi, on January 20 and had booked a flight back to Shanghai for January 25.
But when he failed to arrive home, his relatives became worried and called the police on January 27.
The family assembled a team of about 200 people to look for him, but the search effort was halted by heavy snow three days later.
Wang said staff at the scenic spot advised the family to resume the search in April after the snow melts, but they decided to hire five locals to find him on February 3.
