Motorcyclist heat exposure death… - DVexile - 2024-07-08

This past Saturday in Badwater Basin:

https://www.8newsnow.com/news/local-news/motorcyclist-dies-from-heat-exposure-in-death-valley-after-record-breaking-temperatures/

Sorry, there isn’t a posted news release on the DVNP site yet so I had to pick a random news outlet for the story.  Tried to pick one not overloaded with pop-ups or paywalls!

Visitor Dies Traveling through Death Valley on Motorcycle - Sierra Wave: Eastern Sierra News

I found pretty much the same statement on the Reno ABC news website. This Bishop news outlet has a few more details scattered within. And still no press release yet from DVNP.

NPS news release finally posted:

As usual, all the real information is in the NPS release with all the other media sources just rearranging text, adding some fluff, and sometimes unnecessary obfuscation as well…
