The 70-year-old Michigan man found dead at Lake Mead National Recreation Area in July died of natural causes, the Clark County coroner’s office said Friday.

The body of Jack Hungate, from Southgate, Michigan, was found near an abandoned car about 12:10 p.m. July 18, Lake Mead spokeswoman Christie Vanover said in July. Hungate and the car were near Echo Bay Wash, about 32 miles east of Northshore Road’s intersection with Lake Mead Boulevard.

Vanover said his death did not appear suspicious.
