Three days after the disappearance of American citizen Trevor Bokstaahlar, his body was discovered in a ravine between Kee and Tashigang in Himachal Pradesh's Lahaul and Spiti district on Sunday. According to police reports, the 31-year-old went missing on Thursday while visiting Spiti Valley.

Authorities launched an extensive search operation, during which a motorcycle rented by Bokstaahlar was found in a deserted area close to Tashigang. A drone later identified a parachute stuck in a deep ravine, believed to belong to Bokstaahlar, a known base jumper. Utilizing the Dogra Regiment of the Army, Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), and the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), trained rescue teams retrieved Trevor's body.

Preliminary findings suggest an accidental demise. The American Embassy has been informed, and the body will be handed over after necessary formalities are completed, Superintendent of Police Mayank Chaudhary stated.
