Yahoo is reporting that he went out into the desert to do a "cleansing" of his body. Apparently it was something he did from time to time. At the moment, the sequence of events believed to have happened are that his motorcycle ran out of gas and he decided to walk back to his camp several miles away in 115 degree heat and succumbed to the heat.
