Poor kid,sure would be an awful way to die. updated 10:44 a.m. PT, Tues., July. 1, 2008 RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil - A Brazilian student lost in the Amazon rain forest for six weeks was found by his father, only to die in his arms a short time later, rescue officials said on Tuesday. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25478830/?GT1=43001
And here I was thinking "How the heck do you die because of Amazon? Did they ship an STD instead of GTA?"
Sounds like he hung on just long enough to say goodbye. At least the father has closure and was able to retrieve his body so it wasn't lost to the animals, leaving him wondering for the rest of his life. Very very sad, but hopefully he can find comfort in closure.
and THEN.. the Dad had to put his son up in tree to prevent his body from being eaten.. man, what a total bummer..
Poor kid. May he rest in peace. I have to wonder what he was doing there. The Amazon doesn't like a place where you go camping on a lark.
Well, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought of that. I just figured he got really crappy customer service.
I thought the same thing. What a horrible way to die. What a depressing way to start the day to read this.
