Christopher McCandless's remains were discovered on September 6, 1992, by moose hunters near the northern end of Denali National Park in Alaska.

He had passed away inside an abandoned bus that served as his shelter for the preceding 110 days, providing respite from the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness.

Found alongside his scant provisions were a .22-caliber rifle, a collection of aged books, a camera containing five exposed film rolls, and a diary documenting edible plants in the book's margins.

The cause of his demise was determined to be a combination of starvation and poisoning, likely resulting from misidentifying and consuming toxic plants.

For a comprehensive insight into Chris's life, Jon Krakauer's book 'Into the Wild' offers an engrossing, highly recommended narrative.

Additionally, a film adaptation of the same name, 'Into the Wild,' faithfully captures the essence of the story and is equally worthy of exploration.
