Dyatlov Pass incident

[MrBarnett]

The bodies of Wilson and Bowers were discovered tightly wrapped in their sleeping bags. The flaps of Scott’s bag were thrown back and his coat was open.

I've been watching this on the Discovery Channel, its on again tomorrow (Wed) night.
Fascinating.

Hello Wick,

Do we know when the second part is on yet?

Captain Scott being a well-known example.

I don't recall any of Scott's expedition stripping off, though I am aware that shortly before dying people with extreme frostbite will feel their body temperature rise dramatically. Whether this is psychological or physical I don't know.

All but one apparently died from hypothermia, in addition one had a fractured skull; two others had major chest fractures. Additionally, the body of another team member was missing her tongue and eyes.

The possibility of a crime has been completely discounted by the russian authorities

Weren't the bodies with the extensive injuries found at the bottom of a ravine? Couldn't tumbling down a ravine possibly account for the injuries?

And regarding the missing body parts - the bodies were left out in the elements for months. Couldn't decomposition, exposure to the elements and (apologies for the gross imagery here) animals chewing on the bodies account for missing body parts?

People in the final stages of hypothermia will sometimes start stripping their clothes off. It's called "paradoxical undressing." It's something to do with the brain and nerves misfiring as you're freezing to death, making you think you're suddenly burning hot. I've heard that this is suspected to have happened with some of the Dyatlov Pass kids.

Avalanche mixed with hypothermia, I think played a major part in how events unfolded.

That does keep me up sometimes. It's not just parks either. There's a whole long history of missing people found dead without shoes, often in places that had been intensively searched already.

Edit: And, very often, they were wearing a red shirt or jacket.

I’m off to London for eight days at the end of this month. This one might be my reading material.

You may never return...

Hello Trevor,

But wouldn't a Yeti or any type of wild animal left tracks?

I said it was a theory that some support however, my investigation of the facts does not support that theory

I do cover this incident briefly in my book Myths and Mysteries-The real truth in which the killings were suggested by some researchers attributed to "The Russian Yeti"
