The body blocking their path was thought to be Milan Sedlacek, a Czech mountaineer who’d perished just a few days earlier. Mr Sherpa was curious why the Czech climber had died so close to the top.How ironic that the sherpa's name is "Mr Sherpa." I mean: What are the odds?
On a related note: "Sedlacek" is Czech for "unlucky mountaineer."

Sherpa is a common surname within the Sherpa community. For whatever reason…

The sherpas who guide the climbers up the mountain are from several generations of a family named “Sherpa”. That is where they got their name. Just a bit of trivia I learned years ago.
