A traveler who went missing for nearly two weeks in New South Wales, Australia, has been found dead and has adapted from cultivated fruit and two granola bars.
Hadi Nazari, a medical student, vanished on Boxing Day after leaving Kosciuszko National Park in the Snowy Mountains with his buddies to take photos there.
Hundreds of people, including Mr Nazari’s friends and family, joined research work to identify the 23-year-old.
He was found by other hikers around 15: 15 local time ( 04: 15 GMT ) on Wednesday.
Superintendent Andrew Spliet told investigators that Mr. Nazari had called out to the climbers and” told them that he had been lost in the tree and was thirsty.”
Mr. Nazari was winched over to the research order post by a plane after the climbers called emergency services. At the field, he was evaluated by doctors and transported to a doctor.
Mr. Spliet claimed that Mr. Nazari was found to be in good health, call, able to speak, and uninjured.
Mr. Nazari claimed that the two muesli bars, which he found in a house in the mountains, were “pretty much everything that he’s had to eat over the last two weeks,” adding that the climber had even discovered waters from creeks and farmed for berries.
Mr Nazari’s relatives, who were seen hugging him at the search base station on Wednesday, after confirmed to local media that he was okay. ” It is the happiest day of our life”, they told 9News.
Mr Nazari was found near Blue Lake, around 10km ( 6 miles ) away from the campground where he was supposed to meet his friends on 26 December.
” He’s covered a lot of ground in that time”, said Spliet, adding that police do” catch up with him” after he is checked out of hospital.
