Sean's last words: "Just tell everyone that I love them"
Apr 29, 2005 17: 38 EST
Harold, Sean's team mate has updated the Kanatek expedition website with his reflection on the loss of his expedition partner. Read his story in his own diary (find it in the links section).
The Doc had called Harold from Thukla, stating he was too weak to continue further to Pheriche. Harold arranged for a helicopter evacuation. After discussing this arrangement, Sean said good bye to his buddy: "Just tell everyone that I love them.”
"That was the last time we spoke," writes Harold.
Apparently Sean had collapsed as the helicopter arrived, probably from a cardiac arrest. They carried out CPR on him but it was no good.
"This afternoon, as the flags at Base Camp fluttered quietly in the breeze, we knew Sean was with us in spirit."
Read Harolds full entry on the team's website.
