American Student Found Dead in Cape Town
A 20-year-old American Student from North Carolina was found dead in Cape Town, South Africa after she went on a solo hike to Table Mountain and was in communication with friends via a tracking app on Saturday until the app stopped tracking her whereabouts as her friends could not get a hold of her.

We send our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Brook Cheuvront. Special thanks to the SAR teams in South Africa for their dedicated work. This a reminder, and probably a wake-up call for those who plan to go on a solo hike, please make sure to pack an emergency bag, and if you don't feel comfortable hiking alone, plan out a group hike with your friends or family. Please be safe out there everyone!
