Bent Dies on Mt. Aconcagua From Ruptured Blood Vessel
Traveled in Chile to Make Studies of South American Mountain
Rupture of a blood vessel cause the death of Newell Bent, Jr.'33 last Sunday on the slope of Mt. Aconcagua, located on the border of Chile and Argentine, according to word received yesterday.
Travelling under the auspices of the Agassiz Museum, he had been in Chile since Christmas for the purpose of making entomological and photographical studies of Aconcagua.
At an altitude of nearly 20,000 feet, 3000 feet below the summit, the accident occurred. Despite the attempt of his interpreter and two guides to carry him down the mountain, he died at an altitude of 18,000 feet.
Bent, who was 26 years old, prepared at St. Mark's and graduated from Harvard with a degree of S.B. in Anthropology. Last year he made a trip by himself through the jungles of Africa from Cape Town to Cairo, a distance of some 7500 miles.
