Why some Mount Everest climbers die while they reach out for the summit has some wide answers that can go along with it, but the most common among them is Pulmonary Edema, a condition where the climbers fill out their lungs with water due to high altitude that alters body's natural oxidation process. Another is lack of oxygen and accidents while they traverse the death zone, lack of oxygen in the atmosphere will surely kill any human beings if they fail to secure their tank in that area within minutes.
