Unfortunately, he was found dead. No words can describe how shocking, and saddening this is to many, including me.

God bless their family.

AW MAN!!! =,( James was the man! He did awesome reviews for CNET and seemed like a nice guy. I wish I'd met him before he died. RIP James Kim.

They were on a family vacation, but got stuck in a snowstorm. Their car was stuck, so they couldn't go anywhere. Remember, this is a very mountainous region. James left his family in the car, left the heater running, and went out to look for help. Unfortunately, he did not make it. It would have been much better if he had just stayed with his family. Luckily, his wife, and 2 daughters were rescued safely.

I had such a strong feeling that he was going to be found alive. We all did. I never met the guy, But always trusted his reviews. I remember him all the way back to his Tech TV Days.. Its such a sad end to an amazing story. He was such an Amazing person. I never met him or spoke to him, But I feel like I've lost a friend. Especially since this whole thing happen so close to where I live. If I had my drivers license, I would have been out there looking for them the day they went missing.

I almost cried when I heard that. R.I.P James Kim. You were the man. CNET isn't as good without you.

Zuneologist · 12-14-2006, 11:38 AM

yeah sadly really.
funny and good how technology helps everyone become closer. even though many of us didnt know him personally, but we knew his reviews and his work, hence we trusted him on one level.

im reading the current Newsweek and theres an article on him and his family.

DaN · 12-14-2006, 11:39 AM

Yeah. I really enjoyed his reviews. Actually, one of his review persuaded me into getting the cellphone I have now.
