"KIRO-TV reported that the injured man called 911 shortly before 11 a.m. and shouted, “Can you hear me? Help!” and then the call hung up.

Authorities found the cougar standing over the body of the dead biker, the station reported."

Poor cell coverage, no GPS, even with several passerbys. Sounds like a PLB "might" have helped get care soon enough to make a difference.
