You can find videos of Sir George Mallory’s body being found on Everest — his.body is amazingly intact considering that he’s been up there for a century — it’s quite moving honestly.
There's a story of a woman who fell into a crevice in the rock and got stuck, but was alive. She needed to be pulled out.
Her hiking party, which included her husband, had to abandon her, because they did not have enough oxygen to pull her out and make it out of the death zone. So, some poor man had to walk away from his conscious and alive wife and abandon her to die of asphyxia and hypothermia.

Someone I know attempted the climb and didn't even get to the base camp before he started losing his vision by high altitude retinopathy.
