The body of a man was found after he apparently fell from a closed area of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park late Sunday night on Hawaii's Big Island, authorities said. The National Park Service says family members reported the 75-year-old Hilo man missing from in the park early Monday.
Rangers and firefighters searched for him in the dark and then found his body 100 feet below the crater rim of a viewing area of Kilauea volcano.
A helicopter was needed to help retrieve his body. The park service says an investigation is underway.
