A Spotsylvania man who fell to his death in a rock-climbing accident Friday in the George Washington National Forest has been identified by police.

Northern Virginia Daily reports that Adam Kopley, 38, was climbing with three friends when he fell.

His body was recovered about 2 a.m. Saturday in West Virginia, near the Virginia state line. Police say there was some jurisdictional confusion about the location of Kopley's body and that caused some delay.
