Mount Everest death toll rises to five


Indian national Subash Paul died at Base Camp II -- at an elevation of about 24,600 feet -- Sunday from altitude sickness. The recent deaths -- coming so quickly on the heels of one another -- have rattled climbers who are beginning their descent as the Everest climbing season nears its end. (CNN) The body of one of two Indian nationals who went missing on Mount Everest last week has been located, the managing director of Trekking Camp Nepal said Friday. Avalanches killed 35 climbers on Mount Everest the past two years -- including 16 in one devastating day in 2014. At least one person has died climbing the mountain in Nepal every year since 1900.
