Some unusual and tragic news from up here in the Altoona area.
A hunter found two men atop Brush Mountain Thursday, one dead and the other barely coherent from hypothermia. Both had been drinking and took to the remote area with just light jackets, and a plan. The residents of Blair House (a community support facility for mentally-challenged adults) decided they would go look for Bigfoot, according to an ATV user who spoke with the men Wednesday on their way up the mountain that runs parallel to Altoona/Greenwood from the east.
They were observed making a campsite and fire.
A hunter returned to the area late Thursday afternoon and found one of the men unconscious and the other barely coherent enough to say his name.
Paul Diehl, 53, was pronounced dead on an old fire trail about a half-mile from Utah Road and LaSalle Lane, Greenwood (Logan Township). 47 year old Joe Quirin could barely say his name when paramedics reached him. He is in critical condition at Altoona Regional Hospital.
