An elderly man reportedly died Thursday after suffering a medical emergency on a popular hiking trail in California’s Sequoia National Park.

The victim was identified as 79-year-old John Francis Oliver of Henderson, Nevada, a suburb of Las Vegas, the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office said, according to Your Central Valley.

Oliver was found along the General Sherman Tree Trail, a one-mile path that leads to the world’s largest living tree, the General Sherman Tree, according to the outlet, citing the National Park Service (NPS).

First responders rendered emergency medical aid to Oliver at the scene, but the man was eventually pronounced dead in the park, according to SFGATE.

The Tulare County Sheriff’s Office declined to release additional details about what led to the medical emergency or the circumstances surrounding Oliver’s death “out of respect for the family,” SFGATE reported.

The man’s cause of death has also not yet been determined.

An extreme heat warning was also in effect Thursday for portions of the nearby Mojave Desert and Indian Wells Valley.

Thursday’s death marks the latest in a string of fatal incidents at Sequoia National Park and nearby areas in recent months.
