"64-year-old Chris Straub went fly fishing near the Orchard Canyon on Oak Creek cabins around 4 p.m. Tuesday, but his wife reported him missing when he didn't return before a 5:30 p.m. dinner reservation.
Deputies searched and then called in the Coconino County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue but neither found him overnight, according to a release from the Coconino County Sheriff's Office. A search and rescue team with a K9 found Straub's body around 12:25 p.m. Wednesday in thick overgrowth near the resort.
Joe Watson, a spokesperson for the Attorney's Office, said Straub appeared to have suffered from a fatal accident while hiking but the Coconino County Medical Examiner will determine the official cause of death."
You go fly fishing at 4:00pm... but have a dinner reservation at 5:30pm? That probably leaves about 30 minutes for "fly fishing" before you have to return and get ready for dinner. Who goes fly fishing for 30 minutes?
He suffered a fatal accident while hiking? So, in addition to an extremely short "fly fishing" excursion, you add 'hiking' to the activities... yet still plan to be back for dinner reservations at 5:30pm? Hiking in thick overgrowth, no less? If you're on a resort property, there is typically no lack of hiking trails. If you were so inclined, why go off trail and hiking in thick overgrowth just prior to a dinner reservation?
When he didn't return by 5:30, wife called the sheriff's dept. They didn't find him that night, but then waited until the following afternoon to finally bring in a dog? Being that he was on the resort property and they knew where he was planning to fly fish... it would take a crappy house dog 15 minutes to find the body. A decent hunting / tracking dog would have found him in minutes. With that in mind... what genius decided to wait until the next day after noon to bring in a dog? Dogs can smell a body at night just as easily, and he may have still been alive then.
A Pima County deputy attorney was found dead at Oak Creek Canyon near Sedona on Wednesday after he failed to return from a fly-fishing trip.
So he goes fly fishing, but....

Has an accident while hiking.
If it wasn't so distressing that the author of this article doesn't even find this questionable, I would be laughing.
It says he was in good health, suffered a "fatal accident."
TUCSON (KVOA) - The head of the Public Records Unit at the Pima County Attorney’s Office is dead after he went missing during a fly fishing trip near Sedona on Tuesday.
According to Coconino County Sheriff's Office, Christopher Straub was last seen heading to Oak Creek Canyon to go fly fishing at around 4 p.m. Tuesday. Officials said his wife expected him to return to their room at Orchid Canyon Resort at around 6 p.m. that day.
On Wednesday, CCSO shared that the long-time attorney was found dead at around 12:25 p.m. "in thick overgrowth near the resort after suffering what appears to have been a fatal accident."
The investigation is ongoing. An autopsy will soon be performed to determine the cause of death.
Hey OP. If you can't source where they called for an audit, you really should delete this post and repost it with a headline that isn't editorialized/wrong. $.02
China has a long reach.
This story makes ZERO sense:

Is there a news article to read or anything?
I searched and found this:

Very suspicious to me also.
I've skimmed 3-4 articles surrounding him and his death. Nothing mentions him calling for an audit. Can you source where he did such please?
Others have called for an audit and then he dies. That is how I read it. But I could be wrong 🤷♂️
That doesn't make sense though.
