A mountaineer who scaled Mount Everest after learning how to walk again has died on his return from the summit.
Jason Bernard Kennison, 40, sadly passed away on Friday, May 19. His devastated family said the mechanic "achieved his goal of reaching the peak... but sadly didn't come home".
It is understood he had started showing abnormal behaviour on his descent from the 8,849m-high peak. He had been helped by two Sherpa guides to the balcony area of the mountain, but reportedly refused to move thereafter.
