The Rocky Mountain National Park Search and Rescue Team in Colorado has recovered a body believed to be a Carle Clinic doctor from Urbana. The team said Sunday evening that the body of Jens ‘Jay’ Yambert was recovered Sunday morning and turned over to the Boulder County Coroner’s Office. The Coroner’s office says it will not release positive identification until completion of an autopsy. However, the Coroner added the victim is believed to be 60-year-old Jens Yambert of Urbana.
The body was recovered from the 12,600 elevation at Rocky Mountain National Park, according to a news release to VermilionCountyFirst.com News. The preliminary report from the Search and Rescue Team is that the victim appears to have made an approximate 200 foot tumbling fall and appears to have died instantly.
An extensive ground and aerial search for Dr. Yambert began on Wednesday, August 29th, when it was determined that he was overdue from a trek along a trail.
