[quote=Anonymous]They could have died at varying times between Sun 8am and Tues 11 am. The video shown at the press conference (available on YT) shows how steep the SL trail is, the switchbacks are another indication. The temps nearby were 109, in the canyon it may have been hotter with no shade and with the trail and rocks radiating heat back up. 104 is when the brain / core start to overheat. 109+ is too much heat for humans or canines to discharge effectively. Once HS starts there is a very small window of time to try to reverse it, involving ice, medical attention, etc, things not available on SL. I do wonder if they even tried to call 911. HS affects thinking, did they even grasp the danger they were in? Even LE satellite phones did not work on the switchback were they were found, they had to hike out for a signal. Not sure if even a personal locator beacon could have helped. [/quote]
