This is a very sad story

A respected CNET senior editor is no longer with us:

The body of San Francisco father James Kim was found in Oregon's snowy coastal mountains on Wednesday, searchers said.

Kim's body was at the foot of the Big Windy Creek drainage, a half mile from the Rogue River, where ground crews and helicopters had been searching for days.

It appeared he traveled about seven miles from his car. He set out on foot Saturday seeking help for his family, stranded nearly a week on a road through the mountains.

"He was very motivated," said Brian Anderson, undersheriff of Josephine County. "We were having trouble in there. He traveled a long distance."

The Kims apparently got stranded when they missed the turnoff to Oregon State Route 42 (which leads to Gold Beach) after exiting Interstate 5. According to News.com, the Kim family has asked that it not be contacted, and that flowers and donations not be sent at this time. Once the family has decided how they want Kim to be honored, CNET will release details.

We offer our deepest condolences to the staff of CNET and the Kim family.
