A report of a woman possibly yelling for help Monday afternoon prompted a Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office patrol unit to respond to the area of Wolf Creek Road and Forest Road 74. The 911 caller came across a campsite with an unresponsive 60-year-old man lying on the ground next to a vehicle. Deputies ultimately confirmed the man deceased. The initial investigation revealed no apparent trauma to the victim, who appeared to have passed away within the prior several hours.
The original report of yelling is believed to be from a group of women and children playing in the area.
