20 hours ago'It's easy to die there': Icy Mt. Baldy claims three lives as hikers warn of extreme danger
Officials have identified one of the three hikers found dead on Mt. Baldy this week as 19-year-old Marcus Muench Casanova of Seal Beach. Casanova fell 500 feet on Monday while hiking Devil's Backbone, a sharp ridge with steep drops on either side, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. Two other hikers were then spotted on the mountainside by a helicopter sent to rescue Casanova, but crews were unable to conduct the operation due to high winds, officials said.
