⬛ Young female adventurer from NJ freezes to death during hike with dog
A 21-year-old adventure-seeking young woman from Ocean County died tragically on Thursday after sliding off a trail on New York state’s highest mountain.
Brianna Mohr, accompanied until the end by her dog, called 911 for help and clung on as long as she could. But ultimately, rescuers were unable to reach her in time before the bitter cold claimed her life in the Adirondacks.
Friends say the Brick resident loved the outdoors and was an avid hiker. Her Instagram page is full of photos of her with her dog visiting breathtaking rugged terrains across North America.
New York State Forest Rangers said Mohr called 911 around 3 p.m. after slipping off the trail near the summit of Mount Marcy.
After nearly four hours, a ranger located Mohr with her dog, which was still alive. Bad weather conditions prevented her body from being removed until Friday morning, according to the rangers. New York State Police said an autopsy determined Mohr’s cause of death was hypothermia.
