FOX News

Matthew B. Matheny, 40, of Warren, Ohio, appeared to be in good health when he was found on Mount St. Helens, authorities say. An Ohio man who went missing last week after setting out on a hike on Mount St. Helens in Washington state, was found alive Wednesday -- having survived by eating bees and berries, authorities and the man's relatives said. Matthew B. Matheny, 40, of Warren, Ohio, was reported missing by friends after he failed to return from his hike along Blue Lake Trail on the southwest side of St. Helens. His parents told reporters that he was not familiar with the terrain and got lost. They said he had not seen anyone since Aug. 9. Dozens of search-and-rescue personnel, assisted by helicopters, tracking dogs and a drone operated by the local sheriff's office searched daily for Matheny.
