The man told another hiker he was in the area investigating the deaths because he found the official cause of death 'odd.'
MARIPOSA, Calif. -- A tourist from Michigan who tried to retrace the steps of a family who died during a grueling summer hike in Northern California had to be rescued last week after getting lost, a frustrated sheriff said.
On June 29, a hiker called authorities after noticing the man's car was still parked at the trailhead. The caller had met the tourist from Michigan a day earlier when he told him he was investigating the family's deaths because he found the cause of death"odd," Briese said. The man began his hike in an area with a closed gate and marked with a"CLOSED" sign. He had finished the water from the two one-gallon water containers he was carrying and had to drink water from the nearby river, he said.
