From what?

The Earth..

Or maybe from the water. Toxic algae can be extremely toxic, including fumes around it.

*sigh*

Y’all are going in circles.

[It was murder/suicide.]

When the ones who have seen the scene say that it wasn't murder, they're talking to you.

Knock it off.

Citation, please! The most I saw was that murder "was not high on the list." I would be happy to hear they had conclusively ruled it out.

They’ve more or less said the family was not shot, stabbed, or beaten/blunt force trauma (based on readily apparent condition of bodies). Basically rules out a third party murderer on the loose randomly attacking families on hiking trails.

They have not ruled out a poisoning. They cannot rule that out until they have the toxicology results. If it was poison it was an inside job.

There could be accidental poisoning.

If there was off gassing there would be other wildlife dead around the area.
Police and scientists who commented have ruled out toxic gas as a reason.

It’s possible one of the adults put cyanide in their water as FA, but it’s bizarre to me to go on a long hike to kill the whole family plus dog with poisoned water unless he/she thought why not go out doing the activity we all loved to do together.

There’s also the possibility of if it was purposeful the intent was to never be found.

Was either parent known to use drugs? My DH suggested maybe they ingested drugs before going on the hike, thereby losing their ability to act rationally. They decided to do the strenuous hike irrationally, under the influence of drugs? Could this be a possibiity?

Could be a boulder

We just went to Yosemite. My kids begged to go swimming in the pools alongside the road that dot the Merced as others were swimming. No way would I let them. You can see masses of green floating algae.

There would have been blunt force trauma that would have shown up on an autopsy.

If you sat on a 106 degree boulder, no blunt force trauma involved.

I still think they were running from mountain lions and got dehydrated.

They might have taken drugs being Burning Man types. I sincerely hope they didn’t give drugs to the poor baby.

You can’t run from a mountain lion lol. Have you seen how fast they run?

And between the two of them they should’ve been able to fight it off if they encountered one.

People who do drugs recreationally do not give drugs to babies. Simmer down, Nancy Reagan.

Lol. For the second time: “Tell me you haven’t read the thread without telling me you haven’t read the thread.”

It’s 71 pages - if I hadn’t seen the original boulder idiocy I would have said the same.
