James Kim, missing in Oregon, found [dead].

CNN Headline News | 12-6-2006

[Cagey]

Just heard on CNN Headline News he was found. Rescue personal saw flashing object and found him. No word of his condition.

[cripplecreek]

They're talking about a body.

[Cagey]

Scratch "personal" and insert correct word. No laughing allowed.

[RegulatorCountry]

If there was a flashing object, somebody had to be moving it, so I assume he's alive?

[jacquej]

Fox is reporting that a body, face down in the snow, has been spotted, and I am totally upset. I had hopes he would have figured out a way to survive.

[TommyDale]

Man's body face down.

[Stone Mountain]

Please post anything else as soon as you hear it - the family are dear friends of a co-worker of mine...

[Gator101]

Please let this man live to again see the family he so desperately tried to save.

[keats5]

FOX is saying a "body" was spotted from a news helicopter.

[Cagey]

That's what I thought. I hope so, but it sure seems improbably.

[madison10]

They're talking about a body.

How do you know it's just a body? Did the authorities say it that way?

[RegulatorCountry]

Oh. I'm so sad for his wife and daughters, if this is accurate.

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

ping for future.

[sweetiepiezer]

Prayers for the family.

[gaijin]

Crap. Seemed like he was really taking care of his family.

[keats5]

FOX just confirmed a "body" was spotted. I'm praying he's just lost consciousness due to hypothermia, but if that were the case I doubt they'd be calling him a "body." They are saying they haven't identified the body, though.

[Lancey Howard]

BUMP

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

If it was flexible, it could move in a breeze. The news reported they found his pants. It seems he got hypothermia-caused dementia.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Articles found at scene have been positively identified by family members as belonging to them. Not confirmed but it is presumed Mr. Kim did not survive. Press conference upcoming on CNN. I am streaming it and will post updates as they come from CNN.

[cripplecreek]

The reporter on FOX said that a body had been found but there had been no confimation that it was Kim.

[catbertz]

man...I really hope he survived :(

[Pondman88]

Poor guy, very sad.

[Kimberly GG]

Actually, when FOX ran it's 'breaking news' it read that KIM's body had been found. I was stunned when the reported came on to say it hadn't actually been confirmed, that someone in a helicopter was only reporting that they had seen what looked like a body. That banner read that the whole time she was reporting. aghhhh media.

[bonfire]

Keep praying. He may still be alive.

[b4its2late]

I heard they found a body.

[my_pointy_head_is_sharp]

please let him be alive

[keats5]

CNN is saying they're lowering rescuers down from a helicopter now.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"Searchers being lowered to site where 'body' was spotted."

[bonfire]

Yes. They are lowering rescue workers down by helicopter.

[Kimberly GG]

boy are they backpeddling now!

[maineman]

Not found...FACE DOWN...PER CNN

[proud American in Canada]

I hope he's alive...

[Arizona Carolyn]

So sad, I didn't see how he could survive in this bitter cold.

[verum ago]

things can glint due to motion in the breeze or due to the relative motion of the searcher's helicopter. A previous article also said that they'd found his pants. One doesn't live long in snow without pants.

Prayers up- it looks grim.

[Texas_shutterbug]

Praying!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"Body was NOT found face down."

[RegulatorCountry]

Maybe he heard the helicopter and tried to signal it, but collapsed in the snow. If they can see his body clearly it hasn't been there very long, I'd think.

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

ping.

[Plains Drifter]

Big ping!!!!!!!!!

[bonfire]

That's what I'm hoping!!!

[proud American in Canada]

Praying!

Bttt! me too.

[indcons]

Fox News' website is reporting that he is dead and his body has been found: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,234880,00.html

[keats5]

The wife said he was wearing two pairs of pants. Rescuers found one pair.

[Arizona Carolyn]

No snow the past few days, I know our local weatherman was upset last night that the clouds were clearing and that meant temps down into the teens instead of 30's last night.

[linear]

At that link, it states they don't know his condition.

[ShadowAce]

[eyespysomething]

Claudia Cowen (sp?) said she would NOT confirm that to Trace (newsreader on Fox).

[montag813]

Hypothermia. Likely died days ago. Very few people could have survived.

[Howlin]

Me, too. At this point I'm praying for a coma!

[Cagey]

I hope he's alive too so he can realize that his family was rescued.
