An elderly man from the village of Tununak who went missing on his snowmachine has been found dead.
Alaska State Troopers say 74-year-old Andrew Chikoyak was found by searchers Sunday, one day after being reported overdue.
KTUU-TV says the man left Nunapitchuk for Tununak but never arrived. Searchers were unable to find him Saturday, but he was spotted Sunday by a trooper aircraft out of Bethel.
An Army National Guard Blackhawk helicopter based in Bethel responded to the scene, where medics declared Chikoyak dead. No foul play is suspected.
