Drew's loved ones

It was not explored in the movie. Someone had to tell Drew's loved ones that he died. In the wilderness and that his body will likely never be recovered. It was probably 1 of the three that lived to the end of the movie

Have to assume it would be Ed. Lewis was stuck in the hospital and Bobby gave a pretty good hint to Ed that he'd never see him again.

In the book it was Ed who told Drew's wife, and the author goes into some detail as to how Drew's wife reacts.

We don't see him tell them in the movie, but we do see Ed and Bobby decide that Ed will be the one to tell Drew's family. Bobby asks if Ed wants him to tell them, but Ed says that he should be the one to do it (Bobby mentions earlier that he didn't really know Drew at all).
