Officials in Arizona say a doctor has died after he was part of a group of hikers who ran out of water while getting lost on a trail.
reports, 32-year-old Dr. Evan Dishion, was hiking with a group on a trail near Cave Creek on Monday afternoon when they suddenly needed emergency assistance.
Firefighters were also called to the scene to help rescue the group of six, as they needed to be flown to safety. Deputies said Dishion was among those rescued. He was taken to the hospital, but later died. Scottsdale Fire Department Capt. Dave Folio said the group was about four miles in on the trail when they ran out of water and got lost. He added their phones were dead, and they had to borrow someone else’s phone to call 911.“When we got out on that trail, the temperature on the asphalt alone was reading 127 off our truck. I think it was 109 outside, so it was extreme heat. They [the group] should have been off the trail three or four hours ago,” Folio said. “Have a plan; know your limitations.
