Douglas Tompkins, a noted conservationist and the founder of the clothing brands North Face and Esprit, died on Tuesday after a kayaking accident on General Carrera Lake in the Patagonia region of southern Chile. He was 72. His death was confirmed by Coyhaique Regional Hospital, where Mr. Tompkins was flown with severe hypothermia.

Details of his death by hypothermia are emerging. When his would-be rescuers got to him, he was conscious and cussing. They asked him if he'd ever been that cold before. His last words were "Hell! Hell! Been..."
