"An avid New Jersey outdoor buff slipped off a trail and froze to death while hiking New York's highest peak with her dog - after it took rescuers more than six hours to find her in bitter single-digit temperatures, officials said Wednesday. Brianna Mohr, 21- who posted breathtaking Instagram photos of herself on remote adventures - called 911 while clinging to the side of Mount Marcy in the Adirondacks at 3 p.m. Thursday, according to police."
"Temperatures in Keene, New York, where the mountain is located, ranged from -8 to 20 degrees that day, according to AccuWeather. Her loyal dog was found with her - unhurt. Forest rangers frantically searched the 5,300-foot peak by snowmobile for Mohr as police also looked for her via helicopter, officials said. But low cloud cover prevented officers from seeing her by chopper. Mohr's devastated mother, Stephanie West, posted a photo tribute to her daughter on Valentine's Day - the day her autopsy was completed."
