Massachusetts man dies after rescue from New Hampshire hike by Black Hawk helicopter

A Massachusetts man was airlifted by a Black Hawk helicopter after a medical emergency while hiking in a remote area with his family.

In a news release, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department announced the agency was notified around 2:14 p.m. Tuesday about a 52-year-old man experiencing a medical emergency between two summits on the Kinsman Ridge Trail in New Hampshire's White Mountains. 

The agency said the trail is located approximately 4 miles from the nearest trailhead, which made a quick rescue response difficult.
