Cause of individual deaths

Timothy McDorman:
Why did (here I apologize for not providing the names, because I am still learning) some die of hypothermia while others suffered severe wounds? If one or more of the group perpetrated the attacks they would most certainly have returned to the tent for clothing. The attacks came from outside and the attacker(s) chased some down and used primitive means to kill their prey. Some escaped and hid while the tent was guarded. Those that could attempted to get to the tent but perished before they could make it back. Soldiers of any army would have used knives, guns or any means to kill those they were pursuing. What would the soldiers have to be concerned about regarding the method of death for those of the Dyatlov group if they were ordered to kill? I don't believe it was soldiers as the method was so sloppy.
I have to ask the question: who would even know that the group was at that very spot in order to create this entire tragedy?
Just thinking out loud, but why dismiss the entire Mansi population? Perhaps they felt disrespected in some way after or during the Dyatlov visit. I can't imagine that one individual was able to subdue nine individuals without struggle.
Given the culture of the time in the Soviet Union, the public may have been spared the gruesome events near Otorton. In other words, a coverup.
If no one had escaped from the Gulag (not saying this is impossible, but why draw attention to yourself by chasing down and murdering people) then who is left? I keep coming back to the Mansi.
I just received the book "1079" and intend to read it. Maybe I will be persuaded to change my opinion.

Welcome to the group Tim. You will find a lot (sometimes I think too much information) here but most of it will give you plenty of Hypothesis for solving this case. So far I think many have come close but one idea melds into another and collapses. It is very very intriguing so go ahead ,see if you can manage us.

I tend to think two events happened. The compelling natural force, and then the mutiny, exodus, and fighting amongst themselves. Take your pick, it's like College Football brackets lol.

I think thats four things isnt it.
I think the only thing they would be mutinying about would be who goes in the middle while everyone else cuddles up to keep them warm and how long they do this before they change places. ------   ooh me me ,me first, me me.

You are completely wrong in presenting the history of events. There is some cold in the center of your imagination. It was very hot to sleep in the center of the tent (with a hot stove hanging over you), so no one wanted to sleep in the center of the tent.
