From Times Wire Reports
A snow-covered body found on a remote mountain in China has been identified as U.S. photographer Charlie Fowler, 52, who disappeared several weeks ago during a climbing trip with Christine Boskoff, owner of a Seattle-based adventure company, friends said.
Fowler and Boskoff, who may have been hit by an avalanche, were not roped together, friend Arlene Burns said in Telluride, Colo., and Boskoff, 39, had not been located.
The two climbers were reported missing when they failed to return to the U.S. on Dec. 4.
