Family died in Rockies after trying to live ‘off the grid,’ official says
Two sisters and a teenage son moved to a Colorado campsite last July, living off canned food. They had wanted to take a break from a world that distressed them, a local coroner said.

...the whole family?
Like, one didn't die and the rest of them didn't go "hmm this isn't a good idea..."???
Looks like it was probably from hypothermia or malnourishment or a bit of both. They could have died the same night, very sad.
The fact that a hiker found one and the other two weren't found until the next day makes me think that one left to try and get help, froze to death, and the other 2 died waiting.
Apparently this was during winter. If they got hit by bad weather unprepared, they might not have had any options left once they realized they were fucked.
