It's looking more and more likely that the water was the culprit.

I was reading a forum with biologists and scientist trying to figure this out, and they came to the conclusion that they plan well enough and didn't bring enough water with them for an 8 mile hike in 109 degree weather (that is insane with a baby, and I'm an avid hiker!).

They would have walked the majority of the way with 107-109 degree sun at their backs, if you look at the trees they look incredibly unhealthy, so there wasn't much shade at all on the entire thread.

As they didn't plan for that much heat or that long of a hike, their original water source had been spent and they chose to refill with the river water, while allowing their dog to drink directly from the river.

By the time they'd stopped, they realized that either the dog or the baby or both, was either in distress or had already succumbed to the toxic water, which would explain why she was further up the trail from him, as she was attempting to use her cell phone to call 911, but couldn't get a signal in time.

Again, all speculation, but it is increasingly looking like this is the most likely culprit.

Very sad.

Then this would be the first known example of toxic algae killing people. When know they tested the water in the camelback. They results aren't back for that yet apparently.[/quote]

+1 Sorry PP your biologists are wrong. That testing is back and showed.....toxic algae. They know from the autopsies if they consumed the river water.  Also she didn't have the cellphone. She wasn't trying to get a signal.

If you review the last 150 pages you will get a lot of known facts. [/quote]
