A man was found dead Tuesday near Boulder Falls.
Boulder County sheriff’s deputies responded to a 911 call about a body near Boulder Falls at 12:51 p.m. in the 33000 block of Boulder Canyon Drive, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.
They found a man on the east side of Boulder Falls and he was pronounced dead at the scene, the news release stated.
The death does not appear to be suspicious, according to the sheriff’s office.
The Boulder Falls trail was closed Tuesday and has been blocked to the public since Nov. 12 due to a rockslide that caused significant damage, according to Boulder public information officer Jamie Barker.
“While the area is regularly patrolled, unfortunately, people do get around closures,” Barker wrote. “We strongly encourage individuals to observe closures for their own personal safety.”
There is no timeline for reopening the trail, Barker said in a statement.
The Boulder County Coroner’s Office will determine the man’s identity and the cause and manner of his death.
The man was found in “complex terrain,” so Rocky Mountain Rescue Group was called to assist in the response.
Boulder County Parks and Open Space rangers, Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks rangers and American Medical Rescue also participated in the response.
