you read the article. how about call the sheriff department and see if they will disclose more lol. most accidents stay hush hush until the official report is released. no need to spread rumors at this time.

To be fair, he could've just been asking for who the deceased was which is a reasonable ask since the article was published yesterday and the assumption would be that they've (hopefully) notified the next of kin by now.

He was asking for information, not rumors or speculation.

Sounds like Edd added two more saves to his list of accomplishments.

I am also curious if it is someone I know. Otherwise I am willing to wait for an accident report which the NSS-CDS should get done in about six months.

Odds are high the victims were "not cave trained"

Sadly that is not correct, google some of the more recent studies and it shows the trend is towards trained people.

Yes but Twin is a unique spot hence the multiple "saves" from the cavern area about 75-100ft into the system.
