Sad news indeed.
James Kim found deceasedAfter 11 days stranded in Oregon wilderness, missing CNET editor is found; wife and two daughters were rescued Monday.
just in The body of missing CNET editor James Kim has been located, authorities announced Wednesday.
Arrangements are being made to transport Kim to an undisclosed location, according to police. Kim had been missing in the remote southwestern Oregon wilderness for 11 days. The Kim family has asked not to be contacted at this time.
"They have been true champions throughout this whole ordeal," Josephine County Undersheriff Brian Anderson said of the family at a press conference. "We just want them to know our prayers have been with them from day one."
After being rescued in good condition Monday, Kim's 30-year-old wife, Kati, and daughters Penelope (4 years) and Sabine (7 months) have been reunited with family members. Kati Kim suffered frostbite on two toes, but will not lose those toes, according to a close family friend. James Kim, 35, left the stranded family car Saturday morning to search for help.
While stranded, the family stayed warm using the car heater, then burned tires when they ran out of gas, authorities said. Kati Kim also nursed the girls.
Perhaps the timing of this comment is poor but experience has shown us repeatedly that if you're trapped in a situation like this, stay with the group. A car or a plane crash site is much easier to spot from the air than a single person on foot. Your best bet is to build a really big fire.
Of course our thoughts and prayers go to his family.
