(NEWSER) – After spending a frigid night lost in the marshes of a bird refuge near the Great Salt Lake, Brayden Neilson, 14, was found alive.
Neilson suffered hypothermia and is being monitored for any lasting damage to his hands after being exposed to a 4-degree night. The teen and a friend were hunting in the Ogden Bay Bird Refuge about 40 miles north of Salt Lake City early Saturday morning and the two became separated, with only Brayden’s friend making it to their truck.
Brayden ultimately walked 6 to 7 miles to the Antelope Island Causeway in Syracuse, where he found a landline and again dialed 911 around 6am Sunday.
