Permalink  

A MAN who died in the searing heat with a desperate message for help scrawled in the sand next to his body was a "grey nomad" keen on bird-watching and photography.

"Meda station manager Jamie Laurisson said that while temperatures had been high, there was plenty of water in the area."

That unfortunate fellow must have had some other medical condition to have perished like that. Seems with him being an ornithologist he would have had experience in outback conditions. So I guess after an autopsy the full story might be revealed.
