CNET editor James Kim found dead in Oregon wilderness

"The dead body of missing CNET editor James Kim has been located, authorities announced Wednesday," Leslie Katz reports for CNET News.

"Arrangements are being made to transport Kim to an undisclosed location, according to a police statement. Kim has been missing in the remote southwestern Oregon wilderness for 11 days. The family has asked not to be contacted," Katz reports.

"After being rescued in good condition Monday, Kim's 30-year-old wife, Kati, and daughters Penelope (4 years) and Sabine (7 months) have been reunited with family members," Katz reports.

"The body of a San Francisco man who had walked into the Oregon wilderness to summon help for his stranded family was found Wednesday in a steep ravine where he had left clues for searchers," CNN reports. "Officials confirmed that James Kim, 35, an editor at the Web site CNET, had been found dead."

"Brian Anderson, Undersheriff of Josephine County, broke down and could not finish speaking as he announced that Kim's body was found at 3:03 p.m. ET," CNN reports.

"Searchers were attempting to remove Kim's body, and his family members have requested that their privacy be respected, officials said," CNN reports. "Kim walked into the snowy Oregon mountains Saturday to find help for his wife and two young daughters. They were rescued by searchers on Monday."
