Of the many theories, maybe the one making more sense is that of the group picked the wrong mushooms for breakfast and became intoxicated. One known effect of certain toxics in mushrooms are hallucinations of people bleeding from their eyes, and a key difference between the survivor and the rest of the group was that she ran away instead of staying around the hill and collapsing (maybe in a comma), which probably led to death from exposure (thus the hypothermia autopsy and paradoxical undressing of some of the bodies). Now, can an experienced guide mistake toxic mushrooms for edible ones? Well, it happens sometimes, specially if the mushrooms aren’t in top shape.
Compared to paranormal activity or stumbling upon nerve agents in a popular tourist spot, the mushrooms theory holds some water since a intoxicated witness could be mistaken about what actually happened.

Also: how? why?
This showed up in my suggestions, and now i’ve watched too many versions of it, including a “Bad Apple Explained” video.

Bleeding would be only a symptom of some underlying condition, caused by some damaging process undergoing in body. If we would only found a cause…
I dont know of any poison that causes the symptoms of someone bleeding from ears, eyes, and frothy mouth. Halucinations can vary and can be different for individuals, but all of them having the same symptoms means something was physically able to affect them the same way. Also this strange thing with lack of glucose in blood. Like if they were starving for a long time.
This could have been poisoning indeed, or sickness caused by something. But it would be pretty potent poison or virus. Also naturally occuring.
Hypertension can be associated with bleeding. But what could cause that also?
Could be they all catched something we will never see again. And the cold weather only sped up their demise.
For me at this moment the infrasound theory sounds interesting, but infrasounds alone causing it? I did never hear about such cases, but then, maybe we just heard about it in this case? It all happened after they were exposed so long to this weather anomaly. Before that night with anomaly they were doing fine. Thats the strongest connection I think, between anomaly and their condition. It would be physically affecting their bodies, cells, nervous system, all the organs. Maybe their nervous system was affected in some way, and it caused havoc in other parts of the body also…
But, the only one person that survived, in that scenation she would be exposed on the same level, but was unafected… like at all… So maybe it was some sickness indeed, or a poison.
Or it was something we are afraid to admit we think it could be a thing, A supernatural cause! A powerfull force in the world around them! Enraged Tengri, like sky coming down on them!

That’s the beauty of the mushrooms theory, the weird stuff would be just an unreliable account by someone who was hallucinating. All in all, if they had bled from eyes an ears, the autopsy would have found some trace of it, even after several weeks when the bodies were found and rescued. Occam’s razor favors the unreliable account, and also it’s more likely that people have different reactions and tolerance to mushroom toxins than for a lone girl to survive whatever external factor killed six of seven fit people.

But, what mushrooms? Mushrooms are not mentioned anywhere, and that would be pretty obvious if they all would be eating them, so the blame can be put on it?
As an experienced trekkers and survivalists, it would be pretty unlikely they all ate those poisonous mushrooms. I was born and live in a culture that picks mushrooms and eats them, but we dont have to eat those we are not sure they are edible, because there is plenty of the edible ones in the forest.
But, maybe they could have been eating many edible things, even mushrooms that are edible, and combined they could have caused a reaction in their body, blocking absorption of nutrients, damaging their body.
They apparently were gathering golden root, Rhodiola Rosea | Mental Health America
but its not mentioned they ate it before they had symptoms.
Maybe they should have been eating it tho?

Well, maybe the eyewitness doesn’t remembers. Or maybe she’s guilt tripped because ti was her who harvested the mushrooms. Here around my corner we also eat mushrooms and that’s why I thought of the possibility of mistaking broken bad mushrooms for broken good mushrooms. Also, of course, we should never never pick a mushroom we don’t know for sure, which means there’s exactly one kind of mushroom I could pick if left on my own… 
Someone should check whether there are toxic mushrooms in the area and such… but so far the intoxicated unreliable witness is a simpler explanation than anything else.

At least they know where it became the first probe to reach the lunar southern pole, if not in one piece…

Neuroglycopenia can also cause halucinations, and considering they had low sugar after that bad night, and they had no glucose in blood when found, she could have been halucinating from extreme fatigue, not only she, but the rest also. Only the rest didnt make it, collapsing, not having enough strength after very cold night with wind blowing.
Maybe back then some medical expert should have been gathering enough evidence to say what exactly caused it beside that low sugar content in blood, but now its too late, and only ideas are thrown around.
I think also the strongest male in group could have collapsed first because probably he had to carry more and was fatigued faster.

So…I’m back from a lengthy holiday. I went to Istanbul to stay with relatives for a week and several more days. I went to touristic and historic places with a relative. It was good, except that the weather was 99% humid at 35 degrees celsius.

I have no education of any kind in music, and got 13 of 15 right. Took me 4 replays to decide on the last one, though.

Dry soil usually infiltrates water faster… but some dry soils become water repellant and make it harder to infiltrate water until they’re soaked. That happens a lot after wildfires, FAI.
