Family of late Kenyan hiker Joshua Cheruiyot Kirui says they have decided to let his body remain on Mt Everest. Cheruiyot fell into a crevasse just 48 meters from the summit and retrieving his body from that height would pose major risks to any rescue team. His parents say they do not wish to endanger any lives in the process. "Cheruiyot deeply loved the mountains and they loved him in return. We find solace in knowing he rests in his happy place."
