A couple and their one-year-old daughter as well as a dog belonging to the family were found dead in Northern California.
Autopsies completed on a Northern California couple and their baby daughter failed to reveal what could have caused their death.
An entire family – John Gerrish, his wife, Ellen Chung, their daughter, Miju, and their dog – were found dead on a hiking trail near Hite’s Cove in the Sierra National Forest.
Experts did not find any visible damage on the bodies and suggested that the cause of death was the fumes of toxic algae that filled the abandoned mines in the area.
According to reports, the family took a walk along the hiking trail accompanied by their dog. Deeper into the forest, the travellers felt unwell. A family friend reported the family missing Monday after they hadn’t return from the one-day hike, and Gerrish, who was a software engineer, hadn’t showed up at work.
The police said that the family died under “strange” and unexplained circumstances, in connection with which an additional investigation was launched.
Currently, the Mariposa County Coroner is awaiting toxicology results from the bodies, which could take several weeks.
