[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Dad was older, 46, techie who only settled down with his pretty non-techie wife recently. That is squarely in the burning man demographic, and I wonder if they were into recreational drugs and took a bad batch or misidentified wild mushrooms?  I mean, no judgement if they do.

More sinister interpretation, he was a 40+ old man set in his way, got hooked into marriage and baby by a pretty young woman, and wanted out after a year stuck with them. As a high paid tech employee married to a social sciences grad student, he was looking at crippling child support and alimony. His carefree rich life was over no matter what he did. I don’t think it’s that, but he is old for a 1st time dad.  [/quote]

The drugs theory doesn't explain the baby and dog being dead.[/quote]

I agree that the drugs theory does not explain the dead dog or dead baby.

To answer the PP's question: the couple was pretty involved in the Burning Man community in Northern CA. We have a few mutual friends on Facebook and the public portions of their Facebook profiles have BM photos.

The husband appears to be from the UK originally.

I'm sticking with the murder-suicide poisoning. One of the parents is probably a woo-woo QAnon nut and this is a copycat of the surfing dad who murdered his kids in Mexico, which was a huge story in California. These things happen in waves. [/quote]

Hmm, interesting, the burning man/drug angle does add credence to a murder/suicide theory.  I was leaning towards toxic gas of some kind, unintentional poison, but this is a reasonable take.

Would death by heat stroke be apparent to examiners?  If the dog was leashed, I can see baby and dog perishing of heat stroke in 110 heat, after the parents got disoriented.  The availability of water is off, but does water always help resolve heat stroke?    There was an experienced bay area trail running this summer who died of heat stroke, not too far from the trail, after becoming disoriented.  Really sad.
