SPANISH FORK, Utah (AP) - The popular Utah cave where a 26-year-old medical student died earlier in the week will be closed permanently and his body will not be removed, state and county officials said Friday.
Any effort to recover John Jones' body from the cramped underground chute where he became stuck with his head at an angle below his feet Tuesday night would simply be too dangerous, they said.
"If we put other people in that same location, they could get stuck or get hurt," said Lt. John Valentine with Utah County search and rescue.
