James Kim’s body found in canyon; he had left stranded family to seek help
Kim’s wife, Kati, 30, and their daughters Penelope, 4, and Sabine, 7 months, were rescued Monday as they were leaving their car to find help themselves. She told officers that the couple made a wrong turn and became stuck in the snow nearly two weeks before. They used their car heater until they ran out of gas, then burned tires to stay warm and attract attention. With only a few jars of baby food and limited supplies, Kati Kim nursed both children.
車が雪の中で立ち往生したため、亡くなったキムさんの奥さんと2人の娘は、父が外に助けを呼びに出てから2週間もの間、車中でガス欠になるまで暖房を出し続け、その後はタイヤを焼いて暖を取ったという。
発見の決め手は奥さんが持っていた携帯電話の発信。受信基地の場所から遭難場所が割り出された。
それにしても、家族のために助けを求めて雪の中8マイル(12.8キロ)を歩いたあげく力尽きたキムさんの無念は察するに余りある。合掌。
