North Face founder Douglas Tompkins dies kayaking in Chile

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Douglas Tompkins, a wealthy U.S. businessman and environmental activist who bought up large swaths of land in South America's Patagonia region with the aim to keep them pristine, has died. He was 72.

Tompkins died Tuesday from severe hypothermia in a kayaking accident in Chile, authorities said.

Sounds like he was the typical hypocritical rich environmentalist that wanted to keep everyone else away from the natural beauty he enjoyed.
