“Into the Wild” Could Have Had a More Tragic End
If the film “Into the Wild” had been shot after 2013, famous hiker Chris McCandless’s storyline would have been tragic. After spending years hiking through areas of North America, McCandless reportedly got very sick after ingesting pea grass, which he had mistaken for potato seeds. At the time, this was considered safe, and McCandless’s official cause of death was deemed to be starvation. But in 2013, it was confirmed that both of these plants were toxic.
