James Kim (CNET) family found, however…

Posted by multippt

Earlier, we have reported that James Kim and his family was missing after apparently caught in a severe storm. James Kim’s family have been found a few days ago, in a remote area of southern Oregon. However, James Kim was not with the main group. He left his wife and children in search for help but did not return back. James Kim was found later (several more days later actually) by rescuers. They used certain technologies ranging from thermal imaging down to traking via cellphone signal. However, by the time he was rescued, it was already too late.

The delay in rescue was due to the poor weather conditions, and the relative inaccessability of the area. His body was found within a mile of the family’s wagon which was stuck in the snow. The likely cause of Jamess Kim’s death was due to hypothermia.

James Kim’s body was found 11 days after the family was reported missing.
