Bob Arum's son, found in North Cascades
Boxing promoter Bob Arum was devastated after the discovery of his son’s body.
Searchers have found the body of the son of Bob Arum on a rugged Washington state mountainside Friday afternoon.
For five days they were looking for him in North Cascades National Park, authorities said.
The body of John Arum, mountain climber, was spotted from a National Park Service helicopter at about the 7,700-foot level of the 8,500-foot Storm King mountain, park spokeswoman Kerry Olson said.
Earlier, flights had been made in this area, however, the snow melt made it possible to find the Seattle environmental attorney’s body.
Originally, John’s plan was to climb the Storm King on Saturday. Olson said it is safe to assume that he fell that day.
John’s backpack was found on Wednesday. Then his small day pack was also found on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Bob Arum left Los Angeles as soon as he learned that his son was missing. He left the three-city tour promoting the Nov. 13 fight between Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito. His stepson took his place temporarily.
