Man dies along southern Utah bike trail

Published: Tuesday, May 19, 2009 4:31 p.m. MDT

Authorities are investigating a man's death along a popular
mountain-biking trail in Washington County.

Sheriff's deputies said it happened in the Little Creek area, where
Joseph Manning, 40, of Avendale, Pa., had been mountain biking with
friends when he became separated from them.

"He was later found by his friends near a pool of water. His friends
started CPR on him until assistance arrived," Washington County
Sheriff's Chief Deputy Rob Tersigni said Tuesday. "Medical personnel
took over but were unable to revive him."

Manning's body has been sent to the state medical examiner for an
autopsy, but Tersigni said there were no obvious signs of foul play.
Temperatures in the area were nearly 100 degrees, prompting the
Washington County Sheriff's Office to warn anyone hiking or biking in
Utah's red-rock country to be prepared.

"With any type of activity, your body can overheat quickly, causing
you to go into distress," Tersigni said.
