First of all I know jack sh!t about this sport and the logistics of attempting to save someone but this seems really messed up. I don't want to pass judgement especially when I consider 60* cold and I can't fathom 100 below 0.
But I would think it would be at least be humane to inject him with something if they knew he was a goner. I also think a group of people could mount some type of attempt, and hope someone on their way down at gave the poor guy a proper burial. That's got to be a crappy way to die and watch groups of people go by.
RIP
