Don't wander very far in Alaska....

It seems they won't burn up much energy looking for ya.

What a bummer.

The girlfriend killed him.

Heck they looked for 6 days for him.

The problem is that every time they get close to finding you the bear just drags you a little further away.

After six days  either you survive on your own and make it out on your own.  Or you become part of landscape.  I didn't see where they had even postulated on a cause of death, could have been a bear, drowning, heart attack, stoke, aliens, murder, suicide, plain old accident etc.  If I had to go (and assuming it wasn't a gruesome painful death), going out while fishing in Alaska, well it could be worse.

But a year later he is found next to the river less than a mile from his campsite.   Seems odd nobody including the dogs could find him.    Thick/rough country I guess.

Glad they found the body.  Now it will bring closure to the family.  I happened to know a relative of his and he thought he had drowned for sure.  Yea, you would have thought dogs or someone would have found the body before now.
