CORRECTION: Three bodies were found at a Gunnison County campsite
A hiker found one of the bodies Sunday evening in the woods near the Gold Creek Campground, located in Gunnison County about 7 miles from Ohio City. Gunnison County sheriff’s deputies went to the site and found two more bodies, Undersheriff Josh Ashe said.“I don’t think they’ve been there for 10 years, probably within a year,” Ashe said Wednesday morning. “It appears these three people had been living out of a tent for a prolonged period.
There was no vehicle at the site and investigators were considering “whether they were homeless, or just extended recreation,” Ashe said.Autopsies will be done, he said. “Hopefully that will give a clearer indication of the cause and manner of death. At this point, we have no evidence that is pointing towards foul play.”
The campground is open, and the bodies have been removed, Ashe said. It sits 27 miles northeast of Gunnison near the 13,266-foot Henry Mountain at the southeastern edge of the Fossil Ridge Wilderness.
