Emergency responders conducted an overnight body recovery operation at State Line Lookout in Alpine early Saturday morning, according to reports.
The incident began at approximately 2:45 a.m. when multiple units were dispatched to the State Line Lookout area for a reported body recovery.
Due to the challenging terrain along the Palisades cliffs, a specialized rappel team was requested to assist in the operation.
