CONWAY – A Manchester man apparently committed suicide when he fell 600 feet to his death at Cathedral Ledge in North Conway, according to New Hampshire Fish and Game.


Steven J. Clark, 52, was last seen by his wife on Saturday at 8:30 p.m. She reported him missing to Manchester police the following afternoon.


Two climbers walking along the base of Cathedral Ledge late Monday afternoon discovered Clark's body. They immediately hiked back down the trail and called for help.


Clark's vehicle was found in the parking area at the top of Cathedral Ledge and his body was found at the base, 600 feet below the fenced viewing area.


Fish and Game conservation officers were assisted in the recovery by the North Conway Fire Department, North Conway Ambulance, Conway and Bartlett police, and the Mountain Rescue Service.
