Dan Fredinburg, the head of privacy for GoogleX and a Google adventurer, died on Saturday morning as a result of a head injury from the Mt. Everest avalanche, his sister posted on her brother's Twitter and Instagram accounts.

 

"This is Dans little sister Megan. I regret to inform all who loved him that during the avalanche on Everest early this morning our Dan suffered from a major head injury and didn't make it. We appreciate all of the love that has been sent our way thus far and know his soul and his spirit will live on in so many of us," Fredinburg's sister, Megan, posted. "All our love and thanks to those who shared this life with our favorite hilarious strong willed man. He was and is everything to us. Thank you."

Thanks Marylander, and prayers to all the people of Nepal that have lost their lives. Indeed a tragic event. May they rest in peace.

They're in desperate need, I hope there's plenty of foreign aid for them.

On a somewhat related note, Catholic Relief Services has started a major relief effort in this majority Hindu and Buddhist country. While I have my differences with many of the Church's teachings, they do good work without proselytizing.
