”Susie” thought she and her friends were well-prepared as they headed out alongside her friends, hiking on the Conundrum Creek Trail.

The trail in Colorado is said to be rocky and muddy – but easy to follow and rated somewhere between moderate to difficult.

The trek reportedly takes almost a full day to complete, with “5-8 hours to hike in and 3-6 hours to hike out, on average,” according to All Trails.

Sadly, Susan DeForest wouldn’t make it that long.

On a fateful Thursday night, 17th of August, ”Susie” suddenly became severely ill.

She and her friends were trying to reach the Conundrum Hot Springs in Colorado, but stopped to set up camp when the ”Susie” started vomiting, The Times Herald reported.

Two of Susannas friends left to get help, while a third stayed with her on the trail, to set up a tent.

The idea was to get Susanna out of the heat and into a place where she could rest.

Unfortunately, her condition didn’t improve – it was rather the opposite.

Emergency dispatchers were contacted around 10:45 p.m., but were unable to land the rescue helicopter at her location.

The rescue team didn’t reach Susanna until the next morning and by the time first responders arrived at the scene, she had died.

First responders desperately attempted to revive her while waiting for a helicopter to transport her to the hospital.

Susanna was pronounced dead at 5 am the Friday morning.

Although she and her friends had left a bit late in the afternoon for their hike, the group brought with them all the necessary supplies, including food and water.

And nothing they could have done would have saved Susanna, who was quickly overcome with violent symptoms and succumbed to the illness.

Susanna and her friends seemed to have taken all safety measures and kept hydrated too.

They hadn’t use any alcohol, pills or drugs.

The 20-year-old wasn’t suffering a pre-existing medical condition and she appeared to be completely healthy. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

So, what exactly went wrong and caused her tragic death?

Susanna’s mom, Kate DeForest, soon spoked out.

In a Facebook post, she declared that her daughter died from “acute altitude sickness”.

Altitude sickness can occur when you travel to a high altitude too quickly and when you cannot get enough oxygen from the “thinner” air found at high altitudes.

“Dear Friends, many of you already know this, but on Friday, we lost our daughter, Susie DeForest. She was hiking in Colorado and suffered acute altitude sickness,” Kate wrote.

Susanna likely began developing symptoms of high-altitude pulmonary edema, or HAPE, when she was staying in Dillon — altitude 9,111 feet.

HAPE and high-altitude cerebral edema, or HACE, both can be insidious and mimic other illnesses.

She died from “internal drowning” as fluid built up in her lungs, a condition aided by the lower oxygen content where she was hiking.

When you go too high too fast, you begin to breathe faster since your body isn’t getting the oxygen it needs.

In severe cases, a fatal build-up of fluid in the lungs and brain can occur as a result.

“The decedent most likely started developing HAPE during the 15th and 16th as it commonly develops on the second or third day at altitudes above 6,600 feet when it occurs,” according to Pitkin County Coroner Dr. Steve Ayers.

The scary thing is that Susanna may not have recognized the signs of altitude sickness.

“Signs and symptoms of altitude sickness are hard to recognize,” Pitkin County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Alex Burchetta said.

”But it’s one of the things you need to realize when you’re at 11,000 feet.”

University of Colorado professor of emergency medicine Dr. Benjamin Honigman, who researches the health impacts of high altitude on humans, said death from severe altitude sickness is rare at Colorado’s elevations.

Still, experts recommend gradual increases in altitude while getting plenty of rest and fluids to avoid symptoms.

Altitude sickness can be avoided if you know what to do.First of all, you have to allow your body plenty of time to adjust to the decreased levels of oxygen in high-altitude areas.Not everyone knows this, but it can take several days for your body to adjust to decreased oxygen.So if you are traveling from sea level to a destination above 8,000 feet, plan your trip to gradually reach higher altitudes over the course of a few days.This is where Susanna DeForest and her friends likely went wrong.“

A good rule of thumb is to avoid ascending more than 1,000 feet a day,” according to Everyday Health.Since the highest point in Pennsylvania is Mt. Davis at 3,213 ft feet, ascending the 8,000 to 11,200 feet elevation of this trail in a day, although it’s slated to be hiked in that short time, is simply too much for someone not used to living at higher altitudes.

Tragically, it’s too late for Susan DeForest – but this information could hopefully save others from the same grim fate.If you have any adventure-loving hiker in your life, share this story on Facebook and make sure they read this story before planning their next trip.

Man who indecently assaulted 4 girls walked free when the judge explained to the victims why ‘jail isn’t appropriate’!

According to the court documents, the 20-year-old defendant, Christopher, pleaded guilty to ra-ing one young girl and se-ually abusing three others over the course of a year.

But, unfortunately,, thanks to the judge’s sympathy, he won’t even set foot inside of a prison cell for any of his crimes. The victims of the defendant are tormented by the fact that their se-ual abuser will not be jailed for his actions. The defendant was formally charged with first-degree ra-e, third-degree ra-e, and se-ual abuse involving multiple minors when he was only 17 years old.

The abuse occurred over the course of a year at his home. He later pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree se* abuse, third-degree attempted abuse, and third-degree ra-e.

Per reports, Judge Murphy said in front of Belter and his victims that he agonized over whether or not to imprison the rapist. He then announced that Belter would receive no jail time and just eight years of probation for his crimes because jailing him wouldn’t be an appropriate sentence…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Judge Murphy went on to say that he came to his decision based on the ra-ist’s age at the time of the crimes. The defendant was 16 or 17 when he ra-ed a teen girl and se-ually abused three others, whose ages ranged from 15 to 16 years. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

“I agonized — I’m not ashamed to say that I actually prayed over what is the appropriate sentence in this case. because there was great pain. There was great harm — There were multiple crimes committed in the case,” Judge Murphy explained. “It seems to me that a sentence that involves incarceration or partial incarceration isn’t appropriate, so I am going to sentence you to probation.” Although the defendant is required to register as a se* offender, he received a sentence of two years interim probation which, if completed, will earn him Youthful Offender status. His probation restrictions include no contact with minors, living with his parents, employment or full-time student status, and no internet. “It’s going to be like a sword hanging over your head for the next eight years,” Judge Murphy remarked.

Christopher’s victims learned in court that he would receive no jail time. Understandably, they were stunned and disgusted with the judge’s decision.

One of the victim’s attorneys attributed the merciful sentence to Christopher’s race and economic status. “I am deeply, deeply disappointed. I expected a different outcome today,” declared Cohen, attorney. “Justice was not done today. He is privileged. He comes from money. He is white. He was sentenced as an adult, appropriately — for an adult to get away with these crimes is unjust.”

She was brought into the court in a wheelchair, where she requested ‘the unexpexted’. Among the many people who commented about this incident, one person remarked: “Give her what she wants.”

Per reports, the 50-year-old woman reportedly said: “I want the death penalty. Lethal injection, please.

The woman then spent the rest of the day digging a grave, stopping when she became exhausted. She later went to a neighbor’s house to say her mother had died, with the neighbor calling 911 to request a welfare check. When police arrived, they found the victim’s body in the bedroom and a hole in the ground several feet deep.

Police reviewed Asenka’s phone to discover she had taken photos after her mother’s killing, including injuries to her hands and arms that she allegedly sustained during ther fight. Prosecutors noted that the victim had obtained a restraining order against Asenka last year and filed to renew it, but the order was dropped when they didn’t appear at the court hearing. Asenka’s attorney argued that his client was afraid of her mother because of the alleged abuse, but a friend of the victim that the older woman was very petite and said she had talked about her daughter’s mental health problems.

Among the many people who commented about the murder case, one person remarked: “Give her what she wants. I know they can do it and quickly because years ago a man who had killed and abused two boys asked to be hanged and he was within the year.” Another commenter added: “How sweet of her to tell the court what she wants. Her mother didn’t have a choice and I presume she didn’t want to be murdered. Let her go crazy and rot in a cell.” One commenter agreed, noting: “Too easy! Let her suffer for the rest of her life for what she did. I suspect the wheelchair is a prop!”
