Co-workers mourn James Kim after body found

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Co-workers of James Kim are mourning his death.

The 35-year-old Kim was a senior editor at CNET Networks, covering digital audio technology for the online media company in San Francisco.

He was also the co-host of a weekly video podcast for the Crave gadgets blog on CNET.

His body was found today in the rugged mountains of southern Oregon by searchers who had been looking for him for days after his family was stranded on a snowy road.

Red roses were laid at the base of the CNET logo outside the downtown San Francisco office building where Kim worked.

Employees leaving the office were teary eyed and a courtyard usually packed with workers at lunchtime was vacant.

CNET also canceled its holiday party scheduled this evening.
