The emergency room physician left the children in a safe spot and went off to get water and help, her husband, Scott, wrote in a Facebook post Wednesday.
“Somewhere along the trail, she made a wrong turn and got lost. The park rangers suspect she died of heat exhaustion,” Scott Beadle wrote.
The mother had been missing for about 24 hours when her body was found. She had been walking the trail with her daughter, Laura, and her nephew, Evan.
The group had run out of water when Laura began feeling ill, the husband said.
The children were later found by other hikers, who gave them water and walked them to the next campground, authorities said.
The Beadles were avid fans of the outdoors. The mother’s Facebook page features a photo of her tandem skydiving.
She worked at Baylor Emergency Medical Center in Keller.
