“I wanted him to accomplish getting to the water and the cave for rest,” he wrote. “He asked me to go get the water for him. I said I was not going to leave him. … Shortly thereafter I had a bad feeling and turned to Dave and found no sign of breathing.”
In my book, this is negligent homicide.
The man asked for water a 100 yards away from the source.
I would think that if he could have gone another 100 yards to get it, he would have.
It’s also illegal in Texas. State law says that if you have water surplus to your own survival needs and someone asks you for water, you *must* give it to them.
It would also be another offense - failure to stop and render aid.
