If the dog didn’t die too, then this is what I would have suspected….


We have people die due to heat exhaustion every year in the mountains where I live. This family used to live in San Fran? Unlikely they were really acclimated to extreme temps.

the article said the temps reached 109 the day they went missing. My guess is they were out a few miles when they noticed their 1 year old was overheating, then they pushed to get back to the trailhead.

The father was found sitting with the kid, the mother found a little farther up the hill. I suspect on their journey back to the car, the parents became exhausted as well, the father first, and the mother made it a little farther up the hill before she succumbed to exhaustion.

but it’s unlikely that that would cause the dog to die too.

109 degree weather is no joke when you’re hiking in the backcountry. Perhaps when they started in the morning, it was cooler, but 109 requires special attention paid to maintaining a cooler core temp. Simply carrying enough water is NOT adequate at those temps.

It’s unclear in the article whether they had their phones on them or not. Maybe they didn’t have service. But whatever happened, it’s always tragic when something like this happens

To all ..Thanks for your support for my 2nd post .I have taken measures to clean and contain my issues ,(bud rot() Jeff and C2G my sword speak...
Have you dreamed of Kahn?
Blood in his unflinching eye
Undeniable force from deep inside
Overwhelms him and bursts from his sword and those around him
The keeper of the hurricane weakened by the storm
Many lay victim to his heavy hand
Cheated even in death by a seemingly immortal man
Have you dreamed of Kahn ? In your stately slumber
Or of the paralells between man and the beast he strives to become. cheers bac

Death by overheating is not at all uncommon in the West and Southwest. EMT's are well trained,as are pathologists and coroners to recognize it . Yet the article has us believe that no one knows and they've ordered up a battery of post mortem tests. So, either the newspapers(I've seen this article a few times in diff sources) are being sensationalistic to drum up circulation, or various gov't run entities are pissing money away, or it's a genuine mystery at the moment. If the final word is overheating, then we've got some serious issues with the authorities and their spending habits andcompetence
