Do any of you GetBiggers know the cause of death of Harry Truman while on Mt. St. Helens?

Was he on the explosion side or was he suffrocated or swept down river with all those logs, etc.

Was the precise cause of his death determined?

Have those logs ever been used in construction sites?

And how many of the folks within that region are still unaccounted for?

Anyone live near there or been there?

Friends in Pahala on the Big Island get shook up daily.

"Harry Randall Truman, 83, became somewhat of a folk hero in the weeks leading up to the eruption after he refused to vacate his home near Mount St. Helens despite being urged to leave by officials.

Truman, who owned a lodge on Spirit Lake for more than 50 years, gave colorful interviews to the press.

"I'm going to stay right here because, I'll tell you why, my home and my (expletive) life's here," he told National Geographic in an interview before the disaster. "My wife and I, we both vowed years and years ago that we'd never leave Spirit Lake. We loved it. It's part of me, and I'm part of that (expletive) mountain," he said.

Edna, Truman's wife, had died a few years before the eruption, National Geographic reported.

Numerous news organizations interviewed Truman, who lived alone at the lodge with 16 cats. But after the eruption May 18, his home was hit by a mud and snow avalanche and completely covered. His remains were never found.

A fireman named Fred Johns watched the eruption through a telescope.

"When I saw that big slide hit, I said to myself, 'If Harry Truman and his 16 cats were alive in that lodge, they aren't now,'" Johns told Oregon'sThe Bulletin in a 1980 interview."

Don’t let facts get in the way of a conspiracy theory  ;D

Thanks, GREGZ / POB ... for the info regarding Truman's death on Mt. St. Helens.

It would be amazing if a video tape was found showing those last few minutes/seconds of his life before that slide buried him.

I wonder if he regretted his decision?
