The cause of death has been revealed for a social media influencer who was found dead near an Arizona trailhead after being reported missing.

Hannah Moody, age 31, passed away due to exposure to environmental heat, as reported by FOX 10 Phoenix. The Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s report released on Friday categorized her death as an accident.

Moody’s remains were located in a Scottsdale preserve on May 22, situated 600 yards away from the trail after she went missing the previous day. At the onset of the search, her vehicle was discovered parked at the Gateway Trailhead in Scottsdale’s McDowell Sonoran Preserve.

Authorities conducted a search on foot and also deployed drones and a helicopter. There were no signs of trauma, and investigators ruled out foul play.

Moody had posted on her social media that she was heading out on the hike, and had “five gallons of water” with her, FOX 10 reported. 

Her brother, Joel Moody, wrote on Facebook that his sister was a “fierce competitor” who was “driven, putting her heart and mind to a goal and pursuing it relentlessly.”

“Hannah was also a nomad, a free spirit, searching for a place to belong and to call home after leaving our parents’ house,” he said. “She was a wanderer, journeying with companions, settling for a time, then moving on.”
