If a pregnant couple brought their newborn baby home, they could be charged with eviction, but a landlord told them that the child was not a 'approved occupant.' Following a racial discrimination lawsuit brought by the couple against their landlords in the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT), the outrageous remarks can be revealed.

The husband, 33, and his wife, 31, were on vacation on Tuesday, camping overnight in Zion National Park. Overnight, the weather plummeted and the woman was showing signs of hypothermia while the man was injured. On Wednesday morning, they were walking a 16-mile route through the Narrows and decided to stop and split off so that the husband could be aided. The wife stayed behind at their stop point, about a mile-and-a-half from the north end of Riverside Walk- a paved trail that leads from the Temple of Sinawava to the Narrows. The husband finally found park rangers on the way and alerted them of the situation, and they took him to the hospital. Other visitors gave the woman CPR before Zion's rescue teams arrived. But it was too late, and by the time the husband and rescuers returned home, she had died.

Jessie Callaghan (left), who was discovered dead in Franconia Notch State Park on Wednesday, paid tribute to the late Emily Sotelo, 19 (top right), who was discovered dead after a grueling four-day search (bottom right). Callaghan said she had been hiking with Sotelo over the summer and knew the young hiker was likely anxious and ill as she started trekking down the mountain before getting lost on her solo hiking tour. In a Facebook post, Callaghan said Sotelo had been uncovered further along the investigation from where she had been last seen, but didn't make it out.' Her body had died. So close... but so close... Callaghan said it was her birthday as Sotelo went on the trip days before turning 20. 'This was her 'coming of age' experience.' Though an autopsy has yet to determine the cause of death, police suspect she died from exposure.

A cause of death was not disclosed, but officials said it was likely due to exposure.
