Incident
Two Colorado Mountain College students, 19-year-old Kayden Matsuda and 20-year-old Jackson Donlan, were found dead in a remote area of Chaffee County. They had gone camping on Friday and failed to return; they were reported missing on Monday.
A sudden blizzard made the search dangerous. Rescuers reached the site on foot and used a helicopter to evacuate the students’ bodies.
The Students and Campus Community
Matsuda and Donlan were close friends who loved the mountains. Matsuda studied forest firefighting, and Donlan studied leadership in the outdoor recreation industry.
The college’s Leadville dean said their deaths had deeply affected the small, close-knit campus community. The county sheriff asked people to give the students’ families and loved ones time and space to grieve.
