January 23, 2011 - Fatality at Kipnuk

Kipnuk,

Brandon Anaver, 14, of Kipnuk, was dressed in "fall-weight" clothes and sneakers when he left a friend's house and vanished at about 4 p.m, apparently lost his way and died in the cold. Troopers said "We think that he put his head down when he was walking to protect it from the wind and cold. He may have missed his turn home without realizing it. The hike home should have been about a quarter of a mile. Searchers spotted Brandon's body a mile and a half from the village."
