Inside the tragic death of Sophia Bush's Google exec ex on Everest aged just 33 that left actress 'shattered'

Sophia Bush's world was 'shattered' in 2015 when her Google executive ex and 'best friend' died in an Mount Everest avalanche aged just 33.

Climate activist Fredinburg - described by friends as 'magical, brainy and adventurous' - was three weeks into his latest Everest summit expedition, which saw him mapping out the mountain's ascent routes and fundraising for two Nepali orphanages - when disaster struck. After years of high-profile relationships with Hollywood stars and off the back of a on-off romance with co-star Austin Nichols, a smitten Bush confirmed she was dating the dashing exec in early 2013. Fredinburg had been enthusiastically documenting his latest trip to Everest, with his final post just a day before his death showing him drinking cappuccino on the mountain and chillingly predicting 'danger'.
