I feel like the headline implies someone was looking for him. He saved his own fucking self, no thanks to anyone. The cleaners encountered him. And if they'd been "Everest Climbers" they probably wouldn't have headed back to Base Camp with him.

His family had even started planning his funeral.

Sherpas die on Everest pretty much every year, so they just assumed.
