[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the police left their bodies there. They would not leave bodies in an area that has bears and mountain lions.

They may have gotten botulism from eating something that was bad, maybe food that was improperly canned, or beef jerky that the dog would have also eaten. They could have fed the baby honey which can also cause botulism. If they hiked often, they might have had dehydrated food left in a backpack that had spoiled.

Another idea is a boulder hit them all. It doesn't seem likely though.

Toxic shock syndrome or post partum depression.

A hit and run from someone on a mountain bike or motorbike.

Usually when people die young, it's from an accident.[/quote]

God help me, I can’t tell if you’re seriously positing these things or if you’re mocking the theories on this thread.[/quote]

God help you? I was just brainstorming. Let's hear your ideas... [/quote]

Are you familiar with any of the details of this story, at all? Because if one of your top guesses is “a boulder hit them all”, I’m guessing not.[/quote]

Did you read that I stated I didn't think a boulder was likely? There have been stories of people getting hit by boulders on hikes. What's your top guess, Sherlock, if you're so up on all the details of the story?[/quote]

You’re way past the point of getting to sarcastically call other people Sherlock, lol[/quote]
Agree, though I admit there is a part of me that wishes I could be so ignorantly self-confident. There was a thread on here recently asking if posters were happy to chime in while reading absolutely no previous posts in a thread, and a depressing number of people said “yes”. This is one such person, it seems. [/quote]

I'm confident because I had read this entire thread, read articles on the story, I've gone on many hikes in CA, and I'm highly analytical. I love how people shoot down other people's ideas and call them ignorant, but don't have the ability to come up with or voice their own.

No one knows the manner in which their demise came about.  It's possible to suffer an injury and later die, without signs of injury or indication of what caused it. For all we know a tree branch hit the father, baby, and dog. The mom could have pulled the branch off of them and died of exhaustion, while they sat trying to recover and died later. Or possibly the dad slipped on gravel, hitting his head and the baby's head. They didn't necessarily all die of the same cause. A natural toxin is also a possibility. They seemed like good people, so one would hope it wasn't a crime.[/quote]
