Maybe they ate the Psilocybe samuiensis mushrooms?

Anything ever come of the Julian Sands disappearance/death? Seems like it would have received much more coverage than it has. AN completely quiet about it.

I thought Sands disappeared in the San Gabriel Mountains, USA, not Ra Mountain, Pha-Ngan National Park, Thailand.
