From what I've read of his death, it sounds like he was killed by high-altitude cerebral edema. (Swelling caused by altitude-induced blood leakage within the brain) HACE is essentially impossible to predict. Fit, healthy, experienced climbers die every year from HACE, often with almost no warning. It is unfortunately a risk you take when climbing extreme heights like Everest. |
