MT. BALDY, Calif. (KABC) -- The cause of death for actor Julian Sands, whose remains were found months after he went missing while hiking Mount Baldy, has been deemed "undetermined," according to San Bernardino County officials.

"The cause is 'Undetermined' due to the condition of the body and because no other factors were discovered during the coroner's investigation, this is common when dealing with cases of this type," said a statement from the San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner Department.

"This is the final determination," the statement added.

Last month, human remains that were found on Mount Baldy were positively identified as belonging to the 65-year-old British actor.

Sands was reported missing in January after going for a hike on the mountain.

Sands was best known for his role in the 1985 film "A Room With a View." He is survived by his wife Evgenia Citkowitz and three children.

The massive Mount Baldy rises more than 10,000 feet east of Los Angeles, and is a frequent spot for avid hikers.
