Sounds like the poor guy was either starting or finishing his hike... :(

We don't know how many hikes we get. Pretty sad.

My wife and I drive by there everyday to and from our biz. We thought the same thing this morning.

Something that slipped my mind earlier.. they probably know that the body was not moved due to livor mortis, the pooling of blood after death. If its presence didn't suggest an alternate position from the one he was found in, then it's unlikely that he was moved there. Still curious why they don't believe foul play of some sort was involved.

Geez...how random is that? It's a crazy world.

If you'll recall, Colin Fletcher was also hit by a car, in Monterey. He had brain damage and died several years later.
