Travel Writer Found dead on Chinese Mountain

Travel writer's body found on Chinese mountain - Independent Online Edition > Australasia

One of Lonely Planet's most experienced travel writers, Clem Lindenmayer, has been found dead on a Chinese mountainside, three months after he was reported missing.

Mr Lindenmayer, 47, had set out to climb Mount Gongga, in a remote area of south-west China, telling his family that he expected to complete a circuit in six days. When they failed to hear from him, his relatives posted messages on travellers' websites. China's official Xinhua news agency reported yesterday that villagers had found his body last Thursday.
