On Friday, May 10, 1996, Fischer was leading a group of climbers up [[Mount Everest]] when an intense snow storm trapped several of them very high on the mountain. Snow flurries were so intense that it became impossible to see and the cimbers were not able to descend, and Fischer perished on the mountain. This snowstorm was one of the worst events on Mt. Everest. Several books have been written about the storm and the ill-fated climb. This was Fischer's fifth expedition to Mount Everest. He was married and had two children.
