The tramper who died at Arthur's Pass appears to have fallen to his death.
"While cause of death will be determined by the Coroner, the man appears to have taken a fall," Simmonds said. Weather was not thought to have played a factor.
The man's name will not be released until all his next-of-kin have been notified.
