That is a shitty way to go. It's a dumb way to go but it also sucks. Don't take trails you are not properly prepared for. It was muddy, raining, they were at a party until late at night, probably drinking... yeah, there is a pretty high chance at least one person would end up dead.

Tiare Couto, 19, slipped and plunged to her death while walking out of the Pūpūkea-Paumalū State Park Reserve in Oahu while it was pouring rain on the early morning on January 1. More than 200 teens and young adults gathered for the annual illicit party in a woodsy area along the trail. According to a Honolulu police report obtained by The Honolulu Civil Beat, a group of young women found an officer in an elementary school parking lot near the head of the trail at around 12:30 am. They told the cop they had lost their friend while leaving the crowded party. The officer and the women waited for three hours as other attendees emerged from the trailhead.
