Found frozen in cave / Pennsylvania youth identified after 50 years

Nicholas Paul Grubb

A man found frozen in a Pennsylvania cave in 1977 has finally been identified, ending a nearly 50-year mystery.

The Berks County Coroner's Office identified the remains of the missing man as Nicholas Paul Grubb, 27, of Fort Washington, Pennsylvania.

Surprisingly, advanced technology played no role in identifying "peak man," a moniker inspired by the peak in the Appalachian Mountains near where Grubb was found.

On January 16, 1977, hikers found the frozen body of a man in a cave just below Pinnacle, in Albany Township.

During the autopsy he was unable to be identified based on his appearance, clothing or belongings, according to George Holmes, Berks County's chief deputy coroner.

The cause of death, according to Holmes, was determined to be a drug overdose. There were no signs of trauma on Grubb's body./ CNA
