[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It should be kept in mind that the police and the media withhold some evidence.  They know more than we do and they may have already ruled out some of the theories that we have come up with.

Maybe the toxicology report will give more information.  Maybe we'll never know.  Which, as a family that hikes in California, isn't a comforting thought.[/quote]
One thing we can take away from this is that it’s dangerous to go hiking in extreme heat, even if that’s not what ultimately killed them. It’s an odd thing for experienced hikers to have done on a day where the forecast clearly showed extreme temperatures starting not long after sunrise.  The Websleuths thread has a lot of stories from posters who experienced or witnessed heat exhaustion/heat stroke coming on very suddenly on hikes. [/quote]

Yeah.  My favorite theory so far is they went for a short early morning hike but it took longer than they initially planned.  The wife started suffering heat exhaustion so the husband took the baby and dog, but wouldn't leave her behind.  So they're going very slowly and the day is rapidly getting hotter.  Eventually he too is suffering severe heat exhaustion and sits down to rest but succumbs himself.  The dog is unable to free itself easily from the leash and later succumbs to heat before they are found.
