(CNN) -- A firefighter missing for eight days was found dead on Friday in New Mexico's Santa Fe National Forest, authorities said. Token Adams, a firefighter with the U.S. Forest Service, apparently died in an all-terrain vehicle crash, New Mexico State Police announced at a news conference Friday. Adams was last seen August 30, riding an ATV to investigate a possible fire in the Holiday Mesa area, according to John Helmich, a spokesman with the Forest Service. More than 250 people had searched for the 41-year-old former Navy Seal, Helmich said. The state police are investigating the crash. CNN's Amanda Watts contributed to this report.
