James Kim Found Dead, Described as "Superhuman"
|From CNN:
What James Kim, 35, encountered searchers would later describe as rugged, steep, snowy terrain with sodden branches, slick rocks, downed trees and poison oak nestled between sheer cliffs.
Despite those conditions, authorities said, he covered an estimated eight miles before rescuers on Wednesday found his body in a ravine.
“It seems superhuman to me that he was able to cover that amount of distance given what he had and also that he had nine days in the car” before setting out, Josephine County Undersheriff Brian Anderson said.
“I’m amazed,” searcher Robert Graham told reporters. “We spent hours down there and made very little distance. … The conditions were very rough. It’s been cold, the terrain is so rugged, just spending one day out here is very exhausting.”
