Authorities in California have ruled out a freak lightning strike and cyanide exposure as possible causes of death of a British Snapchat engineer and his family, but more than six weeks later they appear to be no closer to finding out what killed the young parents, their baby daughter and pet dog on a remote hiking trail. 
Mariposa County Sheriff Jeremy Briese said in an emailed statement on Thursday that many toxicology reports have been completed as part of the ongoing investigation into the August 17 deaths of Jonathan Gerrish, his wife, Ellen Chung, daughter Muji and their family dog, but a few 'key' results were still pending. 
Briese did not specify the exact nature of the outstanding toxicology results and said he does not know when they would come in. 
Based on evidence recovered at the scene in Sierra National Forest, or through the investigation, the sheriff's office so far has ruled out more than a half-dozen potential causes of death, including gun or any other type of weapon; lightning strike; carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide; cyanide; illegal drugs or alcohol, and suicide.

Does that mean they’re still alive?

    What parents with a ONE YEAR OLD set out on a 8.5 mi hike in STEEP terrain in 100+ degree temperatures?
 I think heat prostration/stroke is a strong possibility. Otherwise, the toxic algae situation is a strong candidate.
 Sad winners of the Darwin award.

    thought about fungi, but it really doesnt seem likely that they would all just instantly would drop dead.
originally I thought lightning, but since that was ruled out at this point it seems like something airborne?
or someone testing something they thought would be undetectable and wanted free confirmation
