Missing Sherpa guide found alive on Everest after funeral rites had begun

A Nepali Sherpa guide who was believed to have died on Mount Everest has been found crawling to base camp a week after going missing – and after his funeral rites had begun. Hillary Dawa Sherpa, named after the famous climber Edmund Hillary, was rescued by the climbing support team almost a week after he was last seen on 29 May but did not reach base camp with other climbing groups.
