What happened: Two men left for a camping trip on Oct. 1. They were supposed to return this week. When they didn’t return, family members alerted authorities and a search began.
What family members didn’t know was the two men became lost several days ago. They tried to get to a lower elevation and became separated. While the two were apart, one of the men took a fall and became injured. It is unclear what injuries he sustained, but it looks like he was unable to continue on.
One hiker, William Bridger, was found by deputies. He was suffering from frostbite. Frostbite or not, Bridger assisted deputies in helping find his friend. A sheriff’s chopper was sent to the hikers’ campsite and authorities located the lifeless body of his friend. Cory Largman’s body was found near his tent. It is unclear what caused the man’s death, but authorities do not expect foul play.
