Reno endurance athlete Fred Zalokar’s death was accidental, according to the Mariposa County Sheriff’s Office.
Zalokar went missing July 24 in Yosemite National Park on a solo trip to remote Mt. Clark. His body was recovered July 27.
Zalokar, 61, died of multiple injuries to the head, neck, chest and abdomen, according to the sheriff’s office.

Zalokar moved to Reno in 1984 to follow his love for the mountains and starting in 1992 worked at the now-closed Lakeridge Tennis Club as general manager, according to his website. He and his wife, Deb, a personal trainer, have a son, Ian.
