An American hiker has been found dead in a national park in Spain — weeks after the 27-year-old vanished on a solo trek.
Cole Henderson’s body was located Friday in the Pyrenees mountain region, which straddles the border of Spain and France, authorities said.

Search teams found his remains some 650 feet down a difficult-to-access part of the north face of Monte Perdido.
Henderson was last heard from on July 9 after he set off on the hike by himself, NBC News reported.
He was reported missing five days later when he failed to return to his home in Amsterdam, where he’d been working as an engineer.
