Two hikers reportedly high on psychedelic mushrooms traversing New York State's Adirondack Mountains called 911 to mistakenly report a third member of their party was dead, according to local officials.
A ranger with the New York State Department of Forestry responded to a call on Saturday that a hiker had reportedly died on Cascade Mountain, a popular summit in the Adirondack High Peaks, the Department of Environmental Conservation said in a news release.
The two hikers who called 911 also told a steward on the mountain's summit that they were lost. The steward "determined the hikers were in an altered mental state," according to the agency. The supposedly dead person called and was not injured.
Officials said that the ranger escorted the two hikers down to an ambulance, which took them to a hospital and brought the third to the group's campsite, where they all later met up.
