My friend got all furious with Seattle's news coverage of this last night. Apparently the news here (and I'm sure elsewhere) decided to highlight the fact that if he had just walked 1 mile the other direction there was a lodge with heat and food and he wouldn't have had to die. She was so furious that it seemed like the news was just poking the story with a stick to keep it going. She pointed out, quite rightly, that it doesn't help the family or anyone else to know this.
