Rest in peace to the poor man.

To the people using it as an excuse to diss Bob Arum, I don't know why I should be surprised around here.

I am gutted dude. It's an awful thing to bury your child no matter how good or bad the person is.

Just incredibly sad.

Wow! I didn't expect it to end tragically. I thought they would find him eventually.

Rest in peace, John Arum.

SEATTLE -- A national park spokeswoman says a search helicopter has spotted the body of an experienced mountain climber who was the son of boxing promoter Bob Arum.

North Cascades National Park Spokeswoman Kerry Olson says the body belonging to John Arum, a 49-year-old Seattle environmental attorney, was seen Friday at about the 7,700-foot level of Storm King mountain, an 8,815-foot peak in Washington state.

Olson says it wasn't immediately possible to retrieve the body but it was clear to searchers in the helicopter that Arum was dead. She says those involved in the search say he likely died in a fall.

Arum been the object of a five-day search.

Wow. I was watching some TV in the other room after playing and feeding my son, then I come into this. I can't say how bad I feel for the man.

May he rest in peace. I could not even begin to imagine how bad it is. To outlive your child is probably one of the worst things you can feel.

They did find him but it was too late.

RIP Arum Jr.
