KINGMAN, Ariz. (AP) - Mohave County authorities say hyperthermia and dehydration killed a Golden couple found dead in a van stuck in desert sand on a road in Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
The Sheriff’s Office on Friday released the causes of death determined by the county medical examiner for 66-year-old Ronald John Ryan and 65-year-old Nancy Engebretsen.
The couple’s bodies were found Sunday.
National Park Service officials said that only two water bottles were found with the couple and that there was no cellphone coverage in the area.
The couple went missing July 27, according to family members.
