So much for survival training...
MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK, Wash. — Police said a body believed to be that of a gunman suspected in the shooting death of a park ranger has been found, but the identity has not yet been confirmed.
Public Information Officer Guy Gill said that police searching Mount Rainier National Park have located the body of a white male face down in the snow with no heat signature. It is believed to be that of homicide suspect Benjamin C. Barnes, but that has not been confirmed yet.
The National Park Service confirmed the suspect has been "spotted" by air in the area of Narada Falls, a very remote section of the park. Teams are making their way to the subject on the ground to verify his ID and to determine whether he is dead or alive. It will take the ground teams about 1 hour to reach him.
He apparently died after trudging into chest-deep snow while trying to elude snowshoe-wearing SWAT team members and other police who were on his trail.
