Officials were alerted to the missing 59 year old by his family after they separated on a hike on Friday in the popular canyon at Torrent de Pareis in the north west of Mallorca.

Hiking with his wife and son, the German decided to hike at a faster pace and to meet his family later at a restaurant in Escorca. When he did not appear, his wife and son reported him missing at around 17:50. Sadly, his body was discovered on Saturday morning by rescue workers.

Although a popular hike in the area, it is known to be fairly difficult and there have been several rescues already this year. Unfortunately this one had a tragic ending.

Our thoughts go out to his friends and family.
