Phoenix police will be investigating what led to the man's death, but it is believed to be a suicide.
The discovery comes a week after 13 people had to be rescued from a mountain in Scottsdale after some members of the group overheated on their hike.
In early July, a 10-year-old boy died while on a hike with his family on South Mountain. The boy and his family had just moved to the Valley from Missouri.
