The search by helicopter and drone should continue “as soon as the weather permits,” the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Office said on Thursday. If the weather improves, search parties should be deployed again.
Sands, who became known for his role in “Room with a View”, among other things, has been missing since hiking at Mount San Antonio in California at the end of last week. The 65-year-old is an experienced mountain hiker, having crossed the Andes in the 1990s.
Also known as Mount Baldy, Mount San Antonio is the highest peak in the San Gabriel range and a popular hiking destination near Los Angeles, California. The weather conditions have resulted in difficult conditions prevailing there at the moment. The sheriff’s office warned visitors that even for experienced hikers, the situation on the mountain was “extremely dangerous”.
