On September 27, 32-year-old Levi Nathan, an Israeli national, arrived at Sandakphu, accompanied by a guide and checked into the Sherpa Chalet Hotel in Sandakphu. He had hired the guide from Darjeeling. On Thursday morning when his guide went to wake him up, he did not respond. He was found dead in his hotel room.
