"The whole situation was odd to begin with"
I am going to second that.
This type of thing used to be far more common, but in the last decade or two with cellular communications and other technological advancements things like this have all but gone away. That is unless the most important prep (common sense) was not part of their survival plan.
My guess is they were found where they fell.
There are stories like this every year and people still don't learn.
Shelter from the elements, food, and water should not be taken lightly. Your life depends on it.
