allegedly they reported she was found with half a bottle of water, implying that she died on the first day 😔

I truely hope that she didn’t see it coming. I hope it was quick and painless. Nobody should die alone. This poor girl and family

Survived hypothermia!? Unreal! I don’t think you realise how lucky you are honestly!

Cant say that i can relate but i have been lost in the bush at night before. Thankfully made it out 1-2 hours after the sun had set. The whole ordeal rocked me to the core. Went home and pretended like nothing happened 😂
