ADAMS, Mass. (AP) - Authorities say the death of a man whose body was found by hikers on the highest mountain in Massachusetts is not considered suspicious.

The Berkshire district attorney’s office said in a statement Tuesday that the body of 54-year-old Kurt Kruger, of Great Barrington, was found Monday afternoon on a trail well below the 3,491-foot summit.

State police detectives assigned to the district attorney’s office responded to the scene along with several other agencies.
