No the dad poisoned the canteen water.

I cannot imagine a parent giving their baby lake water, or educated parents drinking lake water 1.5 miles from their house, but that doesn’t mean the dad poisoned them. There could have been something in the water at home that they drank. It will be scary if there is some airborne gas that killed them. It is odd to take a baby on a hike on a day that hot, though.

Agree. I don't understand that part.

Nothing works that fast. No poison.

Carbon monoxide is the best explanation. And the scariest.

Why fast? Could have given to wife first thing in morning.

Well water at home was bad. Arsenic or algae. They usually drink bottled water at home but filled canteen and gulped down and died.

What a weird comment about her occupation/studies. Not very likely. But, It makes more sense that it was the mom that was poisoned - feeling strange and trying to run and get help. Meanwhile, the dad knew what was happening and calmly feed the baby and dog the water and sat and waited for death to come. I didn’t think of this originally and thought the case was mysterious. But the PP who suggested murder-suicide is most likely right. The police purposely mentioned toxicology reports and the delay, that means tests on the bodies and in the canteen. I think it makes perfect sense to go hiking somewhere beautiful for your last moments…so, so sad.

Doesn't appear there is a single news article about this that mentions a "canteen". Where do you get that from? Your imagination?

Or maybe it just said seated. . . I don't remember, except the wife was found in another location up hill

They weren’t in the car. The dad was found seated, with the baby and dog. The wife was found a short distance up the hill.

No the article you read was incorrect. They were all together away from the car. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/08/23/mariposa-family-death-mystery/

Presumably the PP means their water bottle. And I agree that the first comment about the wife is utterly bizarre.

So they left their town to "relocate," go to a "very remote" part of the wilderness, on a really hot day, to a place people were warned was toxic, towing everybody - baby and dog. . . My 1st guess is they wanted to vanish. Sad, but seems most likely.

Only 1.5 miles out? Not like they were difficult to find.

No cell service there, no family or friends to make the gruesome discovery.

Nobody drinks lake water. Avid hikers??? No way
