Body Found at North Mountain One Week After Other Death Investigation

Just one week after a woman was found unresponsive on North Mountain, Phoenix police are investigating the discovery of human remains.

Police made the shocking discovery of a second body on the popular Phoenix hiking mountain on Monday morning, just after 8:30 a.m., near 7th Street and Peoria Avenue.

Police and the Medical Examiner are investigating the scene and the human remains. Officers have not specified if it would be a homicide investigation.
