![Bobbi Kristina Hospitalized -- Whitney Houston's Daughter Rushed to the Hospital [UPDATE]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/13/0213-whitney-hero-2-248x127.jpg)
The Imperial County Sheriff's Department went on a frantic search to find former UFC champion Evan Tanner before his body was discovered in the desert yesterday.
Tanner had gone into the California desert, even blogging about his "adventure," saying, "I'm not going out into the desert with a pair of shorts and a bowie knife, to try to live off the land. I'm going fully geared up, and I'm planning on having some fun."
Evan was 37.

Here's part of his blog after finding out that some MMA site were reporting that he was putting himself into a dangerous situation after he said on his blog that if any of his equipment failed it would cost him his life.
âIt seems some MMA websites have reported on the story, posting up that I might die out in the desert, or that it might be my greatest opponent yet, etc. Come on guys. It's really common down in southern California to go out to the off road recreation areas in the desert about an hour away from LA and San Diego. So my plan is to go out to the desert, do some camping, ride the motorcycle, and shoot some guns. Sounds like a lot of fun to me. A lot of people do it. This isn't a version of "Into the Wild". I'm not going out into the desert with a pair of shorts and a bowie knife, to try to live off the land. I'm going fully geared up, and I'm planning on having some fun.â

I read somewhere that he ran out of water. He texted a friend of his that he was in bad shape and had no water. Dumbass.

Was this because of steroids? Never heard of him but the behavior seems nutty.

You should all do some research on this man before posting irresponsible and childish comments about him. His life was all about adventure. Thats how he became a ufc fighter. He joined a local shootfighting contest just to say he had done it. That's how he started fighting. If you read his myspace blog, he has done more with his life in his 37 years than most of you will ever do in your whole lifetime. Have some respect.

This Man, Evan was a great person. I knew him personally. He would give or do anything for his family and friends. I can't believe that people who say such mean things about someone who has died! IF that was your family or friend that someone spoke of in that way after a death...IM sure you would not like it? Evan was a very good person with a great heart. The people that are posting such cruel comments, I hope nothing like this happens to one of yours. Such childish and irresponsible behavior. Evan you will be missed dearly! Rest in peace my friend.

Surely he didn't believe all of that "Man vs. Wild" crap. Those men are never in danger and they don't sleep in trees surrounded by cobras, poisonous frogs and cobras. The reality of being in the wild unprotected and ill prepared is the same as it has always been.
