I know this is a rather morbid topic, but it might be interesting to compile a list of all the people who have died in or near Death Valley as the result of exposure to the elements (dehydration, heat prostration, hypothermia, etc.). All of us have heard about the four Germans whose bodies were recently recovered who perished during the 1990s. What I'll try to do here (and I hope others will contribute too) is create a list of deaths due to the elements in Death Valley.
Here's a quick joke, just to keep things on the light side:
How often do people die in Death Valley?
ANSWER: Only once!
