<\/picture>The body of a missing New York man who disappeared while jogging during a trip to Virginia has been found.<\/p>\n
According to Patrick County Sheriff Dan Smith, the body of Bruce Rubin, age 61, of Westchester County, was found around noon on Monday, July 12 off a bluff in the Roaring Creek Gorge in Vesta, Virginia.<\/p>\n
Rubin, the chief operating officer, and chief compliance officer of the multibillion-dollar investment firm Westchester Capital Management in Valhalla, was found by sheriff’s deputies and Primland Resort employees who had been searching since he was reported missing on Friday, July 2.<\/p>\n
An avid jogger and\u00a0competitive mountain and technical trail runner, Rubin was reported missing after he didn’t return from a morning jog while staying at the Primland Resort. He has most recently lived in Chappaqua and Harrison.<\/p>\n
Since then, deputies and search and rescue teams, as well as resort employees have searched daily for Rubin.<\/p>\n
Smith said the location where Rubin was found was not near a marked trail.<\/p>\n
Deputies, search and rescue personnel, and rappel teams with the Virginia Department of Emergency Management were able to recover the body from the gorge by 8 p.m. on Monday.<\/p>\n
The sheriff said that no foul play exists and evidence indicates that Rubin accidentally fell.<\/p>\n
The sheriff said he had been informed that Rubin, who he called an adventurist, was training for a marathon and looking for elevation changes.<\/p>\n
Rubin had qualified for the annual Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim race in Grand Canyon in September, a 47-mile run that includes almost 11,000 feet in elevation change.<\/p>\n
The body was transported to the medical examiner’s office in Roanoke, Virginia.<\/p>\n
