Park: Yosemite Location: White Wolfe Campground

Summary:
Mr. F.B.M. was hiking in the park when a snowstorm apparently forced him to
take shelter in a cabin near White Wolfe Campground. Because he was a
diabetic and was unable to get food or medication, he went into insulin shock
and died. His body was discovered there on the 20th.
F.B.M. suffered through a seizure while in the Valley two weeks previous to
this incident, and became extremely violent - apparently a normal reaction
for him - during the time he was being transported to the hospital.
