The Himalayan Times reports, Muhammad Hawari Hashim, 33, had been missing since yesterday (May 19), and search efforts are still underway.
Hawari was among the first group to reach the summit, together with Kedah APM director Awang Askandar.
However, Awang was reported to have fallen when making the final ascent at 8,000m.
The 56-year-old was pronounced dead when he was being treated at Camp 4. Meanwhile, a 39-year-old Singaporean climber has gone missing after reaching the summit of Mount Everest yesterday.
On the way down, Shrinivas Sainis Dattatraya seemed to have suffered frostbite and altitude sickness, according to a petition on change.org.
As a result, he seems to have separated himself from the rest of his group and fallen down at around 8000m, likely onto the Tibetan side of the mountain,” the petition says.
A team of sherpas began search operations today.
