BEIRUT: The body of a hunter who went missing the day before was found in the bottom of a rocky valley near Kfar Debian in the Kesrouan district Monday, following what appears to be a fatal fall, security sources told the Daily Star.
The sources said Fadi Akiki had a bullet wound in his head and police were investigating whether the trigger of his hunting rifle was pulled by accident when he fell.
"Police is still investigating the cause of the death and whether it was a homicide, or just a fatal accident," the sources said.
Akiki's family said the 30-year-old hunter went out hunting Sunday morning and never came back.
Relatives tried to contact him when he did not show up for lunch, then searched the rugged area for hours before founding the body deep in the valley.
Police and Civil Defense were alerted to retrieve the body from the hardly accessible area. Earlier reports said Akiki has probably slipped and fallen to death.
