Unlikely. Most probable is death by heat exposure. Temps even in October are over 100 degrees F. Wouldn't take long to overwhelm people who are unprepared.
Since you know the coordinates I'm assuming you know more about the find.
van was found at 35 55' 37.86N 117 01' 06.91W
remains were found around 35 49' 10.17N 116 57' 38.93W
Other bones were identified as coming from an adult female, presumably Cornelia Meyer, but they were too dry to render enough DNA for analysis. No bones from human children have been recovered.

In Dresden, Germany, the families and friends of the four tourists had expected them to return home by July 29.
I don't think they would have had any way to dig graves. They may have left the children somewhere if the children became too echausted to continue. Scavenging animals could also explain why the children weren't found.I was wondering why there were never any remains of the children found - the two adults seems to have been found fairly close together. I think it might be possible that the children died earlier and Egbert and Connie buried them and went on alone.
