It would take a fairly long time for even a 130 person to get into the 80s. If you can't move or care for yourself, you'd be dead in that tent in less than 3 days.

True. I saw another poster commenting on a case where a person was being too strict in rationing their (plentiful) food. Which perhaps makes more sense here. If he'd already lost a lot of weight and stamina as a result of that, could've laid down and died shortly after.

Rationing could be an issue, if he had reason to ration. Maybe if he got lost deeper within the park and was on his way out. Depends on how much food he had with him, when he was previously buying supplies, etc.
