hskrdedhed Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 while on a hiking trip in Indonesia. We'll miss you Tom! HOLY sh#t how did that happen!!!!! He was off the main trail by himself when a 10 footer chased him down and bit him badly. I guess he became disoriented and got himself lost. The komodo followed him around for days until he succumbed to the infection. Some other hikers came across Toms half eaten corpse with the giant lizard still feeding on him. They alerted the park authrities and his remains were retrieved and sent back to his folks in Boulder. Quote Link to comment

rawhide Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 .45 ACP don't go to Indonesia without it(note to self). I watched a special on those lizards and their bite is full of very nasty bacteria from rotten flesh of previous victims that is a ideal breeding ground for virulent microbiology. They can bring down large mammals like cows and such just by biting the animal. It is truly a wait and watch situation. DAMN Quote Link to comment

hskrdedhed Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 His girlfriend is just devistated. She stayed at the Hotel while he took the plane to the Komodo Islands for his dream trek. The authorities were trying to tell her after she reported him missing that he was probably out visiting brothels and getting high without her. What a bunch of jerks! Quote Link to comment
