dunefreak Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Damn pretty sad. Could have totally been prevented too. “What we were told is that (sheriff’s officials who found him) believe his motorcycle had run out of gas, so he went to walk out in like 115 to 118-degree heat,” said Vincitorio. “He was miles away from his camp. That’s where the helicopter found him. Right now, they just think that he succumbed to the heat.”Tanner had apparently told friends before he left that if they hadn’t heard from him in a couple of days, they should contact officials, which is what happened. When he stopped responding to text messages, friends waited a couple of days and then notified officials at the Imperial County Sherrif’s Department on Friday. A search ensued and Tanner’s body was found on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
