[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did anyone else read the article today in the NYTimes? I was about the mystery surrounding the deaths, and odd to me because it did not mention heat/heat exhaustion as a possible cause of death (while mentioning a lot of other possibilities).[/quote] Yes. [b]Because the deaths are obviously not heat-related.[/b] But this is DCUM, where we just cannot stop blaming the victims for poor decision-making aka bad parenting. It's what we do. [/quote] Heat stroke is the most logical cause out of everything that has been discussed. Attributing this to the heat is not automatically calling them bad parents. The author of the NYT article probably didn't realize the details of the current hike, like the fact that it was very different than the guided tours that they previously did, and would be much more difficult with the dog and baby (not that I am blaming the parents for this).
