INDEX — A 21-year-old who died Friday near Heybrook Lookout was identified as Andrew E. Shehata, of Shoreline.
He had been climbing on a steep rock field when a boulder gave way and fell on him. He was with four other people.
The Snohomish County Medical Examiner determined Shehata died from blunt force head injuries and ruled his death an accident.
On Friday, Heather Chadwick with Snohomish County Fire District 7 urged hikers to stay on the trails.
“We have had a very long, wet winter and the ground under the rocks is unstable. Do not climb on rock fields, and always hike in a group,” she wrote in a press release.
