On 14 May at 2:15 pm (NST) Kishan, who was last in the descending party, slipped - supposedly whilst unclipping from the rope at an anchor. The team assumes he fell down the cliff as his body could not be found. When members noticed that he was gone, two members went back up to the 1st step to look for him but he could not find him. Harbhajan Sing declared him missing at 6 pm Nepali time. Two Sherpas went back to 1st step to locate the body but he was never found. There are rumours that he committed suicide.
