In this latest instance, a 53-year-old man suffered a medical emergency, Sierra Madre Police Department Sgt. J. Rodriguez told City News Service.<\/p>\n

Police received a call about 10 a.m. Saturday about a hiker experiencing a medical emergency, Rodriguez said. Police closed the 6-mile trail between Sierra Madre and the mountain’s peak.<\/p>\n

Officers and Sierra Madre Fire Department firefighters found the hiker and tried to save him, but he was pronounced dead at the scene, she said.<\/p>\n

Friends of the hiker and passersby were performing CPR on the man when rescuers arrived, according to the Sierra Madre Search and Rescue Team.<\/p>\n
