More questions than answers after autopsy of California family found dead on hiking trail
SF Gate ^ | 22 Aug 2021 | Katie Dows

An initial autopsy has revealed few clues in the mystery of what happened to a California family found dead on a hiking trail in the Sierra National Forest south of Yosemite.

John Gerrish, Ellen Chung and their 1-year-old daughter Miju — as well as their family dog — were found dead at the Devil's Gulch

Investigators said the deaths do not appear intentional, and they did not find a suicide note or any signs indicating premeditation.

Last month, the Forest Service cautioned on Facebook that people should avoid drinking or swimming in the Merced River due to the presence of toxic algae; unhealthy algae blooms are not uncommon in warm months in California bodies of water.

Toxicology results are expected in two to three weeks. A necropsy is also being conducted on the dog.

The dog also being dead is suspicious. Would the dog drink bad water? Would the dog get sick like the humans from drinking bad water? Dogs are not humans.

Poison from home?

Aliens, definitely.

Though most of the manufacturers claim a longer range, such as 30 miles, the real scenario is entirely different. You’ll receive excellent clarity for the distance of 2 miles in mountain area from some top-rated walkie talkies. However, most of the walkie talkies ensure a range of 1 mile in forest and mountain area.

Like ‘em both, but would guess CSN more to my liking.

Your question got me looking through some vinyl. I thought that someone else had covered it also, but came up dry.

This is where I would put my money. Murder/suicide with some poison. Or perhaps Covid-19.

I doubt the dog had been vaccinated. So that’s probably not the cause.

MY question is, Who the F takes their 1 YEAR OLD on a hike?

Lots of people.

It is not a real hike. More a meander with a picnic.

Wouldn’t there be vomit evidence with street fen at that level?

Both bands did a great job harmonizing Wooden Ships, but Grace Slick had a deeper voice than Graham Nash. So there’s that.

True, they might not have had cell access, but they would have made the attempt, left a message in the texts.
