Thanks for posting, I saw it in the paper also. Sad story. He was only a few feet from the trailhead, too.

Bleeding? Maybe he tripped and hit his head?

That's certainly what it sounds like. It had been raining and the trail was likely slippery--not the best thing to attempt if you walk with a cane. Poor man.
