Three Tibetan guides and one Australian tourist died in a slide on Mount Everest early this week. Xinhua News Agency reports the four men were part of a ten-person group that traveled to an off-limits area on Sunday. The group, lead by a local tourist agency, camped at the foot of the mountain without permission and was hit by a large avalanche.

Most unfortunate luck of the draw. So close but yet so far. RIP.
