The death of Eric Goepfert, a 50-year-old man trying to climb Mount Whitney, in the eastern Sierra Nevada, was also reported in California on Tuesday.

The causes of his death, apparently, were altitude sickness and severe stormy conditions.

His wife called the Inyo County Sheriff's Office when he did not return home as scheduled on Friday.
