Did they say how they died? Did they abandon their vehicle and die from exposure or drowning or what? This whole story has been very odd. My understanding was this was outside the training area. Why were they there and what happened? Why didn't they call for help? I mean they would have a radio. Personal cellphones. Flares.
The explanations have been thin and the reasoning poor.
