In Colorado, the body of a missing 71-year-old hiker was found with his dog, who was still alive, by his side. The hiker’s name is Rich Moore. He went hiking in August with his Jack Russell terrier, Finney, and never returned. There were searches but he was not found at that time.

200 bodies buried in Gaza hospital mass grave
BBC News reported that the director of the Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City said 200 bodies have been buried near the hospital. Around 100 hospital workers worked for six hours to bury them. Some of the deaths are due to the hospitals being unable to support patients due to its electricity being cut off and fuel supplies running out. Other bodies came from the morgues.

Manslaughter arrest over hockey player’s death
Sports Illustrated reported that police in England arrested a person in connection to the death of an American hockey player, Adam Johnson, whose throat was cut by a skate of an opposing player during a game last month.
Police did not identify the person who was arrested, only saying that detectives arrested a man on suspicion of manslaughter. SI said the “assumption is that the arrested individual is… Matt Petgrave, whose skate struck Johnson in the neck during the Oct. 28 game.”
Johnson immediately had massive blood loss and was pronounced dead at a hospital.
A video of the incident shows that Petgrave raised his leg (and his skate) in an apparent attempt to block Johnson from passing him from behind.
Supreme Court adopts ethics code
The Supreme Court said it has adopted an ethics code for its members. This is happening after news reports of justices receiving gifts that they never disclosed, which raised questions about whether wealthy and powerful individuals were influencing the justices.
The code of conduct is nine pages long. The New York Times said it does not place specific restrictions on gifts or explain how the rules would be enforced. It says that the justices should not take part in outside activities that detract from the dignity of the justice’s office or reflect adversely on the justice’s impartiality.
That is all the top stories for today. See you tomorrow and stay with the light.
