Sonoma County officials confirmed that a man waiting for an air ambulance before it crashed into a mountainside has died.
The man has been identified as 24-year-old Michael Wolf of Covelo. Authorities say he died in Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital on Christmas Day from injuries suffered after a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
Wolf was scheduled to be picked up by a medical helicopter when doctors in a Willits hospital determined his injuries were too severe to be treated there. But the helicopter crashed into a mountainside, killing its pilot and two crewmembers.
Just before the crash, the crew had reported it was turning around because of bad weather.

When and how do we draw the line? Can it ever be drawn?
Does it make a difference that they were self-inflicted wounds?
