Three climbers die on Mount Everest

“The medical staff at the Himalayan Rescue Association believe the cause of
death to be altitude sickness.”

Sherpa said South Korean Song Won-Bin, who had been missing since Saturday,
died at “The Balcony”, an area near the top of the peak

Tilak Pandey, a tourism ministry official at the Everest base camp, said
separately that a Nepali-born Canadian woman named Shriya Shah had also been
killed on Sunday.

“Most of these deaths occur due to high altitude sickness,” said Sherpa.
“Climbers spend their energy on the ascent and they are exhausted and
fatigued on the descent.”

He added that a Chinese climber and a Nepali mountain guide were also missing.
