John Jones died headfirst – of positional asphixia
I feel so bad about John Jones! He died while spelunking in Nutty Putty Cave near Salt Lake City, Utah. He and his wife are so beautiful; he was in medical school and she’s expecting their 2nd kid. (Utah, remember.)
More than 50 people tried to help him for over a day.
The 6-foot-tall, 190-pound Jones got stuck with his head at an angle below his feet about 9 p.m. Tuesday in an L-shaped area of the cave known as “Bob’s Push.” The area is only about 18 inches wide and 10 inches high.
I literally shuddered at those numbers. Oh my gah. My worst nightmare.
At one point, they had moved him roughly 12 feet out of the tight crevice, far enough to give him some food and water. But he slipped back into the space when an anchor in the cave roof that supported the pulley system failed, only to fall back several feet into the tight space when a cord that was supporting him failed. His health deteriorated, he had trouble breathing, and died within a day.
Spencer Jones said his family is “remarkably strong,” but is struggling to make sense of what happened.
I think I know.

Supernanny says you always have to give a warning before you put someone in the naughty corner.
Thanksgiving is only 3 days away! So this is your warning: be sure to eat enough at dinner so you aren’t tempted to bite the other family or guests.
It’s cruel and inhumane.
