BOULDER, CO -- Hikers on the Switzerland Trail in Boulder County found a man's body near an abandoned mining claim in Boulder County Monday afternoon. The unidentified man was found in the "remnants of an old trailer" a statement from the Boulder Sheriff's Office said.

Hikers reported the find near Forest Service Road 221 in Pennsylvania Gulch, around 2 p.m. by calling 911.

Boulder authorities did not give the man's name or age because his family had not been notified. The Boulder County Coroner's office will release that information, the sheriff's office said.

The sheriff's statement said deputies were still investigating the death, but that "at this time no foul play is suspected."
