Gavin Escobar, a former Dallas Cowboy, died at age 31 in an apparent climbing accident.

Gavin Escobar, a former tight end for the Dallas Cowboys, passed away at age 31 following what appears to have been a rock climbing accident. Authorities claimed that on Wednesday, two rock climbers who had been reported injured were discovered dead close to a southern California mountain.

Chelsea Walsh, age 33, has been identified as the other climber. Following a distress call, rescuers were dispatched to Tahquitz Rock in Idyllwild on Wednesday at 12:30 p.m., the Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Department said on Twitter. The climbers were discovered dead at the spot when a crew succeeded in reaching the steep, inaccessible terrain, according to the department.

Early in the day, a little bit of rain fell in the region, but authorities did not immediately clear whether the weather played a role in the fatalities. Since February, Escobar has worked as a fireman in Long Beach, California. Escobar is survived, according to the Long Beach Fire Department, by his wife and two kids.
