For several days, a large search effort was underway involving the police, mountain rescue, the Home Guard and the volunteer organization Missing People.
On Wednesday, the police ended the search because it was no longer considered possible to find the man alive, rescue leader Joacim Lundqvist told The newspaper Ångermanland.
Missing People has since continued to search, and found the man dead in the woods on Saturday.
The police do not suspect that the man has been the victim of a crime.
