Deputies used a drone to pinpoint the exact location of the remains and carried out a recovery operation with the assistance of crews from Grant County Fire District No. 8 and Royal Slope Fire & Rescue on Sunday.

Officials say accessing the body proved challenging due to an overgrowth of dense vegetation at the site.

Authorities haven't revealed the gender or approximate age of the decedent, nor if they suspect any foul play in the person's death.

The body is now in the care of the Grant County Coroner's Office with an autopsy pending.
