May 12 (UPI) -- A man died this past weekend after a medical emergency while on a hiking trip in Arizona with four others.
On Sunday, emergency crews received a call around 12:45 p.m. local time from a group of hikers in a web of trails at Gold Canyon's Wave Cave Trail some 40 miles east of Phoenix.
"No foul play is suspected," according to the Pinal County Sheriff's Office, adding that the county's medical examiner will determine the official cause of death of the 33-year-old deceased hiking victim.
The hiking group had been on the trail for at least six hours with 100 degree Fahrenheit temps when the emergency call was placed after CPR was initiated.
After a team arrived, rescuers took over CPR efforts.
However, "unfortunately the patient did not survive," the Superstition Fire and Medical District, which serves the Gold Canyon area, said in a statement.
"Tragically this mountain rescue resulted in one fatality," SFMD officials added, saying the other four hikers were assisted down the mountain but "refused transport to the hospital."
