Missing New Hampshire hiker's body recovered from White Mountains after he was stranded in cold

New Hampshire rescue teams recovered the body of a hiker who died from severe weather conditions in the White Mountains

Fish and Game Conservation officers were made aware of a hiker in distress Tuesday night when loved ones reached out for help after speaking with Christopher Roma, 37, who was stranded in the treacherous mountains.

"Eventually, [Roma] made contact with NH911 and coordinates were obtained that placed the hiker between Mount Bond and Mount Guyot. Before the call was lost, the hiker stated he was very cold," a report from the New Hampshire Fish and Game Law Enforcement Division states. 

"The weather forecast for the area was for heavy winds, temperatures in the single digits and snow."

Fish and Game, the Pemi Valley Search and Rescue Team and Mountain Rescue Service launched an operation to retrieve Roma.

However, their efforts were complicated by the same inclement weather conditions that left him stranded.
