The couple – who were both born in India and living in the U.S. – died of “multiple injuries to the head, neck, chest and abdomen, sustained by a fall from a mountain,” Dr. Sung-Ook Baik, a forensic pathologist in the Stanislaus County Coroner’s Office, wrote in a Jan. 4 report, reports said.

Viswanath’s brother, Jishnu Viswanath, told the Associated Press the couple were setting up a tripod-mounted camera near the ledge of Taft Point on Oct. 23. An inquiry into how the couple fell is ongoing.

“Any deaths that happen inside the park, the National Park Service rangers do the investigation of the accident itself,” Kristie Mitchell, a spokeswoman for the Mariposa County Sheriff’s Office, told the Mercury News of San Jose. “As far as what led up to it, that’s done by the National Park Service.”

The travel-obsessed couple detailed their lives in a now-deactivated travel blog called "Holidays and Happily Ever Afters,” where they wrote about vacations and posted photos of themselves in locales around the world.

In the world we live in today reality is a concept that like all other concepts can be accepted or ignored at will. Most normals grasp reality very well. Many deluded, even highly educated fools, do not. They never had a first hand acquaintance with the laws of physics, and think as you say, it’s all just TV, and there are do overs if it doesn’t work the way they want .

Viswanath and Moorthy were “intoxicated with ethyl alcohol prior to death,” Baik wrote.

We need to ban this dangerous drug.

We need to ban this dangerous drug.

Along with dihydrogen monoxide.
