The body of a Whitefish, Montana, man has been found in Glacier National Park/NPS file

The body of a 32-year-old climber who went missing a week ago has been found in Glacier National Park in Montana. A park release said "traumatic injuries and location of the body" indicated a fall killed Grant Marcuccio, of Whitefish, Montana.

His body was spotted about 2 p.m. Sunday by the crew of Two Bear Air. He was found one-third of a mile east of McPartland Peak below the ridgeline between Heavens Peak and McPartland Peak. The body was transported to the Apgar horse corrals where Two Bear Air met the Flathead County coroner.

Marcuccio was last seen by his hiking party on Sunday, August 18, at about 1 p.m. when he separated from his party to summit McPartland Peak alone. They had planned to rendezvous at a designated location.
