I read the book by Krakauer a few years ago. Tragically, he could've crossed the river he thought was blocking his way back to civilization by a hand-operated cable car only 800 meters away from his shelter. He wandered into the wild without a good map.
To his credit, though, there is the possibility that he was simply unable to walk because he poisoned himself accidentally [0]
