      Looks like it was probably from hypothermia or malnourishment or a bit of both. They could have died the same night, very sad.

      The fact that a hiker found one and the other two weren’t found until the next day makes me think that one left to try and get help, froze to death, and the other 2 died waiting.

      Apparently this was during winter. If they got hit by bad weather unprepared, they might not have had any options left once they realized they were fucked.
