EGREMONT, Mass. — The body of a Ghent, N.Y., man who slipped off a rock at Bash Bish Falls on July 28 has been recovered.

Authorities on Saturday were able to recover the body of 21-year-old Aiden Campion-Pratt from the waterfall at Bash Bish Falls in Mount Washington.

The body apparently became dislodged overnight by natural means from the crevice in which it had been trapped and was captured by netting placed in a pool below the crevice for just that eventuality.

The body was transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Holyoke for an examination on Sunday.

Berkshire District Attorney David F. Capeless said, "We are grateful that Aiden will be returned to his family and that a measure of closure can be theirs. Our gratitude also goes out to the many investigators and rescue personnel who made this possible."

Those involved in the search and recovery effort included members of the Western Massachusetts Technical Rescue Team, the state Department of Conservation and
Recreation, the Columbia County, N.Y., and Berkshire County sheriff's departments; state police detectives assigned to the district attorney's office; the Pittsfield, Egremont and Copake, N.Y., fire departments' Massachusetts and New York state police, the Columbia County and Berkshire fire coordinators, and Fastracs Excavating of Red Hook, N.Y
