[quote=Anonymous]I doubt it was foul play, after reading all these posts. I think that this couple totally underprepared for the hike and overestimated their abilities. This unfortunately happens all the time. I just think of my husband, who is otherwise professionally quite accomplished, never thinking of bringing enough water on hikes, even with the kids. A couple of years ago, there was a physician who died on a hike (I think at the Grand Canyon?) because she, a medical doctor, under-estimated how much water she and the kids would need. The mom died and the kids were found alone. I think that the parents realized they were in danger, the dad sat down with the kid and dog, and the mom died not far away seeking help. If you've ever seen heatstroke, which I have seen first hand having traveled extensively in the Middle East, it can be fatal very, very quickly. You become disoriented and your body just shuts down.
