James Kim, 1971 - 2006

After days of searching, authorities found James Kim's body 1-mile from where his family's station wagon was stuck in the snow.  He had traveled in an 8-mile circle -- Authorities cannot determine if he was traveling back to his family or disoriented. 

His wife and two children were rescued a few days ago and are said to be in good condition.

Kim did everything he could to save his family.  It's very unfortunate that the search had to end in this way.

More details can be found here.

Update:  CNET has put together a video tribute to James.  Introduction by Tom Merritt.

Update 2:  Monetary contributions can be made to the Kim family through the family's website.  [via BoingBoing]
