This is bizarre. Couldn't have starved after only six days.

Could be the cold??

I dunno. It's September but maybe? Southern Colorado wouldn't have those kind of temps this time of year, I wouldn't think.

It is a weird story.

Pretty bizarre. Article says they were found after a 6 day search that was begun 3 days after loss of contact. So it is possible they were out there 9 days. All of their gear reported still in the vehicle. Maybe they went out on a day scouting hike, got lost and never made it back. Dying of exposure and lack of food and water. Maybe the two guys who claimed to talk to them had something to do with it. Were their guns and binos found with the bodies? We're gonna need cause and time of death from the medical examiner.

They said severe weather had moved in.

If you get wet, and it’s windy, it doesn’t need to be super cold to cause hypothermia.

There is more to this than the story says.

"Severe weather moved in over the weekend, raising concerns about their survival in the rugged area." - from the OP article.

I bet they died of hypothermia after getting lost. Gets cold in those mountains at night this time of year.

We’ve had lows in the 40s here in the Denver area so it’s not unusual for the higher elevations to get well below freezing this time of year.
GMU81 is very diverse in regard to terrain and elevation so depending on where they were in 81, could easily be exposure that killed them.

You can die of hypothermia in sixty degree weather, especially if you get wet or are exposed to it for long.

praying for the family is only what is remaining for now.
