How does someone get THAT dehydrated in 10 hours?

Have you ever hiked in the southwestern US during the summer? It gets very hot in Utah. Also the man who died was from New York, so he might not have been acclimated to the climate. I hope the bozos who own this camp lose their asses.

Indeed.

No I have never hiked there, only in the NE, and I gets pretty hot in the summer. Foolishly I was not looking at the fact he was ill. That would surely dehydrate anyone enough to cause death. I was looking only at the fact that many have survived the desert without water for longer than 10 hours. But, they were not vomiting etc.
