Three Utah Hikers Die Attempting to Rescue Friend from Whirlpool

Tragic incident occurred on the Seven Teacups Trail along California's Kern River during a canyoneering trip.

David Bell, Jeannine Skinner, and Peter On lost their lives while trying to save each other.
The whirlpool was likely caused by a large log or rock creating a circular current.
Efforts to revive the hikers by other expedition members and emergency responders were unsuccessful.
The Seven Teacups Trail is known for its series of pools along the Kern River.
A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to support the victims' families.
