      His emaciated decomposing body was found by hunters. Time of death couldn’t be determined accurately.
      The last 4 entries in his diary were just a date and a dash (-).
      He had a bag of plant seeds with him that contained a toxin which causes paralysis.
      His diary contained entries documenting his dwindling food reserves and unsuccessful hunting attempts.
