The body of James Kim, a senior CNet editor who left to find help two days ago after he and his family had been stranded in the Oregon wilderness for more than a week has been found today with the help of helicopters. Mr. Kim’s family was rescued with little wear or tear two days ago, and CNet has further details of the Kim family ordeal, but suffice it to say, its a sheer tragedy.
Sadly, it seems like when news like this breaks over the blogosphere, there don’t seem to be any happy endings; Rob Scoble and Shel Israel wrote about a similar tragedy in their book, Naked Conversations, about an individual lost to the wilderness, which found its way to the blogosphere and through it, the mainstream media.
I didn’t know James Kim, but he seemed like a great guy, and the-every-geek who made good on a major tech network. There are other things floating around the blogosphere this afternoon, but today, my prayers are with him and his family.

Such a sad ending to this ordeal.
May he rest in peace.
