Shanghai woman dies hiking in US

A Chinese woman who was recently found dead in Yosemite National Park in California might have drowned while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, said the park. Investigation results are expected to be released this week.

Wang Chaocui, 27, was last seen by other hikers on July 17. Her body was recovered from a river in Kerrick Canyon late last month.

Wang, also known as Tree, had lived in Shanghai and quit her job to hike the Pacific Crest Trail, a 4,200-kilometer route along the US West Coast, Chinese media reported.
