I didn't see that it mentioned how he died. Does anyone know if it was suicide, exposure or he was shot by law enforcement?

The body was discovered from the air, and the identity has not yet been confirmed.

This is just so completely senseless; nothing gained, nothing fought for, nothing achieved, only a waste of potential for the one and the shattering of a young family for the other. Let us know if her family needs anything, Shane.

There is some chatter over at CC.com about creating a memorial fund for her two kids as well as possibly a memorial climb. All great ideas.

I will write a check for $50 as soon as the details for making the donation are presented. My heart goes out to her family.
