 Examples of those who, after summiting, died on the descent down or soon after (not counting other climbs, on the same expedition but does not have to be their first summit)

The history of mountaineering expeditions on Mount Everest has evolved since the first official mountaineering expedition trekked up its slopes in 1921.In subsequent decades up to the 1960s, many expeditions were funded by major organizations like the Joint Himalayan Committee and launched in a "siege" style with large climbing parties; although the 1935 and 1938 expeditions were small and low-cost as preferred by Eric Shipton and Bill Tilman.These early campaigns helped overcome the relatively remote nature and uncharted territory of Everest.
