Zero sympathy for anyone that dies while standing in line to be led up a mountain by the locals they pay slave wages too so they don't have to carry their own equipment.

It's like those billionaires that died un a shitty private sub.

There's actual genocides happening right now, I don't need to hear about a rich idiot who killed themselves with their own poor decisions.
