The Providence resident, 25, was pulled underwater Sunday at West Creek Falls in Rocky Mountain National Park.

The National Park Service noted in a news release that West Creek Falls is located on the east side of the park. The man's body was then transferred to the Larimer County Coroner and Medical Examiner’s Office, which will determine his cause of death. The Continental Divide is covered in snow looking southeast toward the Indian Peaks Wilderness on May 13, 2023, in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.
