4 mountain climbers die in 4 days, while 2 go missing on Mount Everest

Four people have died in the span of four days on Mount Everest including a Sherpa, while two others have gone missing.

This year's climbing season on the world's highest peak resumed in April after a two-year hiatus due to a catastrophic earthquake that struck Nepal in 2015 and a deadly avalanche that killed 16 Sherpas in one day in 2014.

But tragedy struck again as authorities reported four consecutive days of deaths on the famous mountain.
