Stevens Pass, Washington -- A hiker missing since Tuesday was found dead Saturday afternoon by search and rescue workers.

Mike Harum, PIO for Chelan County Sheriff's Office, tells KIRO 7 that the hiker, local actor T.J. Langley, was found around 2pm. It appears that he fell while climbing Luahna Peak, which is about three miles from where searchers found his gear.

Helicopters assisted in recovering Langley's body, which was turned over to the Chelan County Coroner.

According to Harum, the man was up in the Glacier Peak Wilderness area, about 10 miles northeast of the summit of Stevens Pass.

Searchers believed that they had found the hiker's sleeping bag and gear on Friday. Harum says that the Langley was an avid climber and hiker. When he left he told relatives and friends that he was going up to hike Little Giant Peak and Buck Mountain, both of which are in the Glacier Peak Wilderness area.

Chelan County sent ground crews and a helicopter Friday to begin the search. Snohomish County Sheriff's Department also came over to assist Chelan County. The King County Sheriff's Department sent up a helicopter and dog search team as well. Snohomish County brought in a helicopter to do night flying with their FLIR and night vision overnight Friday into Saturday.

Ten years ago Langley made news when he survived a grizzly bear attack in Yellowstone National Park.
