An American woman who disappeared while hiking on South Africa's Table Mountain has been found dead, officials said. Brook Cheuvront, a student from North Carolina, was in Cape Town doing an internship at an NGO.

Brook Cheuvront, 20, from Newland, North Carolina, was reported missing on Saturday after setting off at midday to trek up the mountain. Her friends became worried when a tracking app she’d used to update them suddenly stopped working, said SANParks, authorities for Table Mountain National Park.

SANParks, who manage South Africa’s National Parks, confirmed a female hiker had been found dead and her body had been recovered in a press release shared on Monday, Sept 23. Sh
