What I heard (and I'm not sure if it's true) is that the family was found when the rescuers tracked HIS footprints backwards to them in the snow. So maybe he actually saved his family through his death.
Now, why someone would track backwards instead of forwards is beyond me ... unless they lost his trail and decided to backtrack.

Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done, had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908, whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defended me, I told him that it was his duty to defend me even by using violence." - Mahatma Ghandi
