Rescue teams searched for Richard Miles for four days

Richard Miles died from a head injury after falling during a climb at Lord's Rake on England's highest mountain, LancsLive reports. His family became concerned about him when he did not call as he usually would do.

On July 7, Mike Park, a member of Cockermouth Mountain Rescue Team, was heading for a run on Scafell Pike and decided to revisit some of the area which had already been searched. In a statement read out to the court by coroner’s assistant Adrian Taylor, he said: "I was walking through the bottom of the craggs and as I was doing so I realised it was unsafe for me to go any further."

His success and good standing was such that he was chosen to meet then Prime Minister Theresa May when she visited the workplace. He would later move to another job working as an electrical engineer and was described as a gym goer who was interested in cars and model aircraft.
