Tragic story about a family of three, dying on a hike

And the couple were experienced hikers. From Outside magazine, 13 paragraphs long.

Software engineer Jonathan Gerrish, 45, his wife Ellen Chung, 31, their one-year-old baby Aurelia “Miju” Chung-Gerrish, and Oski were reported missing by a friend on Monday, August 16, after the family’s nanny showed up for work and found no one at home. Local authorities discovered the four bodies the next morning, just 1.6 miles from the trailhead where the family had parked, on a well-known but remote trail called Savage-Lundy. There were no signs of trauma, or an otherwise apparent cause of death. Chung and Gerrish, who had moved from San Francisco to Mariposa early in the pandemic, were frequent weekend hikers.
