From the Inyo County Sheriff's face-book page:
"FINAL POSTING - Sunday evening update: After five days of an intense multiagency search effort we are all deeply saddened to report that missing hiker John Lee’s body has been located by a helicopter in Sequoia National Park at the base of the southwest slope of Mt. Whitney ~12,500 feet elevation. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Lee's family and friends during this very difficult time."
