Zachary Zernik, 22, was last seen on Jan. 28 around 8 a.m.

He did not show up to work on Jan. 30, and his vehicle was found at the Wendy/Potrero trailhead in the Thousand Oaks area on Wednesday morning, according to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office.

Search and rescue crews were looking for Zernik in Boney Mountain State Wilderness Park, and the search resumed at 7 a.m. Thursday before his body was discovered.

There was no evidence of a crime or foul play, and his death appeared to be accidental, officials said.

His cause of death will be determined by the Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office.
