Russian Student Found Dead in Grand Teton Park

Authorities located the body of a Russian student who went missing several days ago at Grand Teton National Park at around 1:30 P.M. on Friday.

Sagiev’s body was discovered below a steep traverse, known as Cache Couloir, in Glacier Gulch, at an elevation of about 9,400 feet. Rescuers used a helicopter long-line to retrieve his body.

Sagiev, student from Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, was a seasonal employee at Dornan’s Pizza & Pasta Restaurant, a shop near the park. About 60 searchers had been looking for him since he was last seen at work Sunday.

Authorities say that when Sagiev was found, he had on the metallic blue “Sochi” jacket that he was last seen wearing, which helped in locating his body in the rocky terrain. There was no immediate word on the cause of death. An investigation is planned.
