Fate of hiker missing in alpine park revealed
Melbourne man Niels Gunther Becker disappeared three days into a hike in the Victorian High Country, near Mount Buller, in October 2019.
A physically fit hiker who vanished while on a seven-day trip for his birthday has been declared dead following a coroner’s review.
Six years later after Mr Becker disappeared, Coroner David Ryan handed down a finding that he was deceased, having become lost or injured on his hike and dying from exposure to the elements.
