Clueless Hiker Dies In Black Jeans

2013 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A clueless young college student named Justin William Rodriguez died June 2nd, 2013 after attempting to hike 10 miles in 109 degree (F) weather dressed entirely in black, most notably, black jeans.

Needless to say, nature got the best of this young man as he died of heat exhaustion.

When pressed, his friend admitted that the issue of wearing black jeans was brought up before the hike, but that Rodriguez insisted on wearing them he believed them to be "in fashion"
