The Lincoln County Coroner has been asked to investigate the weekend death of a teen who was found dead after hiking with his father.

The 16-year-old Merrill boy fell sick during the hike and was found dead in a cabin yesterday morning. Authorities don't suspect foul play.

The son hadn't been feeling well during the hike scouting hunting land

His father hiked several hours to a home and called 9-1-1.

Deputies responded and went to the Town of Corning cabin, where they found the boy dead.
