Per WP:LISTN, topic has not been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources. This list will be too broad. Just look at results of a google search of recent cases, , ,. These are just ones in the past few years. Think about how long this will get if you start going back decades. Given that there's over a million hikers on the trail annually, lots of people die of all sorts of causes. CutOffTies (talk) 23:34, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
