I've heard a rumor that someone might fell off HD yesterday around 7pm. But I can't find any information about such thing so it might be an unsubstantiated rumor.
Did someone else hear about this?!

Wow, how could anyone stand at either the base or the summit of Half Dome and think life wasn't worth living?

Actually, the Death in Yosemite book(I don't have a copy at hand) listed at least one of those. The guy removed his wallet and pack and just stepped off the famous overhang at the top.
That really upsets the climbers down below.

When I was a teen I was driving down a highway and a careless driver pulled out of a side road, hit the rear quarterpanel of my car and sent my car off the road, rolling sideways. I rolled maybe 5 seconds before landing upright in a ditch and I walked away unhurt. But during those five seconds I figured this was it, I was dead and I really did see my life flash before my eyes, little snippets of childhood like looking at a slideshow in fast forward. I imagine the same thing would happen going over a waterfall or off the side of a cliff, there's the initial confusion and shock and then resignation that it's over and you give your life a quick review. I'm not sure why this happened, only that it did and it's a sensation I've never forgotten.

Is there an over/under this year for deaths? We're on pace for a very high-count year. Any guesses?

Amazing that someone who is suicidal would hike all the way up there, when you can drive to Glacier Point and jump off there, much easier.
