Incident report

A group of Peace Corps volunteers decided to go caving after attending a wedding. The thirteen cavers had eight flashlights. They explored the cave for some time but when they exited, there were only twelve. They re-entered and found the missing caver asleep at the back of the cave. Alcohol may have had something to do with this.

Summary

Group of thirteen cavers left one person behind, found asleep in the cave later, with alcohol being a likely factor.
