A Los Angeles man who was found dead at a trailhead in Death Valley National Park was identified on Thursday. The hiker was confirmed to be Steve Curry, 71, from Sunland, according to the Inyo County Coroner’s Office.
Steve was found collapsed outside of a restroom at Golden Canyon around 3:30 p.m. amid a blistering heatwave as temperatures hit 121°F in the area. National Park Service officials believe Steve had likely just been hiking on the popular trail shortly before he died.
Loved ones describe Steve as an adventurous and warm-hearted man.
"He just had this desire to go there," said Rima Curry, Steve's wife. "He wanted to take this one hike and it did him in. He was a loving man, very good soul, good-hearted, enjoyed people, loved the outdoors."
