[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are from AZ and if you aren’t used to heat it can be misleading. In our low humidity 100 doesn’t really feel hot. Especially if you are used to how heat feels with higher humidity. It’s very dangerous because you will overheat without feeling it till it’s too late. That’s why we never go anywhere without water and have ordinances requiring businesses to have water available.[/quote]

I’m also from AZ. People don’t embark on hikes in the middle of heat warnings when it’s already close to 99 degrees with no shade. It’s just not a thing.

August hiking in arizona means leaving your house before 6 AM.[/quote]

Another Arizonan.  I posted this upthread.  I originally doubted heat stroke because I’ve seen a fair amount of heat stroke and it would be weird to have two adults and a dog succumb so quickly one after another.  But after learning the details about the length of hike, and the time they left, I don’t see how it couldn’t have been heat stroke.  I think the only other possibility is that they were so hot they swam in the river to cool off and the river toxins somehow made it all worse.  I’m sure the dog, at least, swam.  You can’t keep an overheated dog out of the water.  But plain old heat stroke seems the likeliest.  [/quote]

I mean, I can think of something one other thing it could have been….

Keep in mind that there are a lot of scenic trails in their area. Yet…they chose one where they knew there would be no foot traffic. [/quote]

NP. Can you state your theory instead of hinting? Do you believe it was a murder-suicide? I have considered that possibility, but I’m not sure how it could be done in a manner that wouldn’t be obviously intentional to investigators.[/quote]
