The search for a missing Virginia man in Shenandoah National Park was suspended on Sunday after crews discovered human remains.

The body believed to be of Mateo Luis Cobo Zevallos, 21, was found around 12:15 p.m. in steep terrain near several rock outcrops, the National Park Service said.

A medical examiner was working on positive identification and will determine a cause of death.
