Mom Sees Son Die in Desert – Alicia Sanchez

This is the story of a mom who sees his son of 11 years old die in the desert. A really sad story which started with an adventure of one day but left a scar of a life for the mother who saw her son passed away right in front of her in despair.

Alicia Sanchez is the name of the mother. Both mother and son left Las Vegas on the 1st of August for a one day adventure in the Death Valley. Of course they had their jeep and resources to survive and the plan was for only one day as the son was quite excited to have a desert adventure. Anyway who does not want this?

As they moved in the desert with all precautionary measures, their jeep somehow got stuck in a coyote den! Why precautionary? Because even though the adventure was for one day, they took enough water and food for 5 days with them. They had three gallons of water, cheese sandwiches and pop tarts.

Even the family doggy was with them. The unexpected happened however at a very isolated place in the desert where even network coverage was unavailable. Therefore there was no way to call for emergency rescue and the only hope was to wait for some rangers moving nearby or walk..to the infinite.

The 11 years old son died 1 day before  a group of park ranger found the mother and the dog. The mother Alicia Sanchez says that she watched her son dying in her hands and could not do anything. However authorities are finding it quite amazing that she survived for so many days in that desert when its known to be one of the hottest place on Earth.
