WOW.
Any ufc fans here will have heard of evan tanner and known him for having some nasty knees and elbows, then losing a lot of matches.
Well he was found dead in the SoCal desert a few weeks ago..really shocking news. Aparantly he had gone trekking and ran out of petrol...

Tanner had recently purchased a dirt bike, and on September 3 he rode into the desert region north of Brawley, California to go camping.[8] According to Tanner's manager John Hayner, Tanner called that afternoon to say that his bike had run out of gas, and that he would accordingly walk back to his camp.[8]Temperatures that day reached 118 degrees Fahrenheit (48C), and friends became concerned and reported Tanner missing after he failed to contact them.[8] His body was discovered by a Marine helicopter on September 8. The Imperial County coroner determined Tanner's time of death to be sometime between late September 4 and early September 5, but the legal date of death was recorded as September 8. Tanner's body was found near Clapp Springs with empty water bottles. Tanner had reportedly intended to refill his bottles at the springs before heading back to the provisions at his campsite, but the springs were unexpectedly dry, and Tanner text messaged a friend informing him of this.[3]. The Imperial County sheriff's office official cause of death was cited as heat exposure.[8]

A "Celebration of Life" service was held in Amarillo, TX on September 27th at 2:00 p.m. at the Amarillo Civic Center.
