Elderly Man Found Dead Along Remote Road

A man from the City of Mount Shasta has been found dead in a remote area of Siskiyou County after he apparently got stuck in the snow. Last Thursday a driver found the body lying on Medicine Lake Road about 15 miles north of Highway 89. The dead man has been identified as 72-year-old James Herbert Lloyd. Deputies checked the surrounding area and found a vehicle registered to Lloyd about 7 miles further up the road, where it had become stuck. An autopsy is planned. The sheriff’s office advises anyone, not just driving into the backcountry but any winter driver, to be sure their vehicle is prepared for the conditions.
