[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like it must be heat stroke. Those are death valley temps and they were there during the heat of the day. Haven't like 3 people in the past week died of heat stroke in death valley? Simplest explanation is usually the one...[/quote]

Then why didn’t that get reported as the likely cause? All the articles I’ve read frame this as “mysterious,” “unexplained” deaths. [/quote]
Because when the investigators first came across the bodies, they didn’t have all the info we have now and they didn’t expect to find all four dead close to each other in the middle of the trail (dad, baby, dog side by side) and mom 30 ft closer to the car. It gave the appearance of them all dropping dead at the same time, though they probably didn’t—when the dad sat to rest, baby and or/dog may have been fine (unlikely) or one or both (probably at least the poor dog with the heavy coat) dead or unconscious. He probably thought he could recover after a rest, but was too overcome by heat at that point to cool off.  Other two were helpless next to him.

One thing I’d be curious to know is if the autopsy would show something like a pulled muscle? My working theory is that dog or baby were in distress by the time they got to the bottom of the gulch, and the parents were rushing to get them back to the truck carrying both. Way too much of a sustainable effort at that incline on a day that hot. [/quote]
