New details about the final moments before a family died of hyperthermia and dehydration on a remote hiking trail in California’s Sierra National Forest last fall have been revealed in their phone records.
Jonathan Gerrish, Ellen Chung, their one-year-old daughter Aurelia Miju Chung-Gerrish and their dog Oski were found dead on 18 August, three days after they set out for an eight-mile trek on the Hite Cove trail under harsh sun with the temperature reaching up to 109F (42C).
