#2 

Odd to die in a group and with the dog?
With a water source to at least cool down if nothing else?

Even if the water source was tainted.

#9 I've hiked near there. The Merced is a very steep canyon and gets sun blasted in mid-summer. They committed to a 8+ miles loop hike that is downhill first. You've got to pay attention to the map or read one of the longer stories to realize they'd already covered 6-7 miles and were coming up out of an exposed canyon with a surface temperature of 107+ degrees. Not enough water and poor terrain knowledge became a death sentence, no toxic fumes or algae required.

#11 Considering the 1 year old, I'd wager that they have been doing child raising things, not physical conditioning for a route which is a known killer.

I can see that. Carrying all the normal kit, plus the 1 year old bag of things. Hot all day, but baby passes out, get in a hurry and stressed, dad goes down, mom get is a fizzy and doesn't have the strength to unharness the baby, passes out too. Dog stays with them.
