FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — The body of a Utah man has been found in Wupatki National Monument near Flagstaff, authorities said Wednesday.

The body of 46-year-old Conan Stults of Cedar City was located Monday, Coconino County Sheriff's officials said, by a search dogs south of the Lomki Pueblo area inside the monument.

Authorities said the county medical examiner's office will try to determine the cause of death.

Sheriff's deputies responded Saturday to the Antelope Hills area of Flagstaff along U.S. 89 about a trespass in progress, but the person had already left the area.

Deputies were able to identify Stults after his vehicle was found at the scene and a search for him began.

It was still unclear Wednesday why Stults was in northern Arizona.
