The search for a missing wing-suit jumper has ended in the back country.

Kananaskis Country Public Safety Section posted on Facebook that it was called about the missing jumper on Grotto Mountain on Sunday night.

Rescuers say they have since found the man’s body.

This is the second time a jumper has been killed in the area this month. On August 8, Canmore RCMP recovered the body of a missing Calgary base jumper following a two-day search.

The 34-year-old man was found at Miners Peak on Mount Lawrence Grassi near Canmore.
