The Inyo County Sheriff's Office used DNA to identify the remains of Giichi Matsumura, who died during a freak summer snowstorm while on a hiking trip with other members of the camp.
Matsumura had apparently stopped to paint a watercolour while the other men, a group of anglers, continued toward a lake to fish.
