It had to have been him, it's too coincidental otherwise. They believed it possible until they checked his remains and said he was too weak but he may not have always been, he could have died months after making the sign too

Yeah that's way more plausible than there being another person

How did this person cut down the trees though?

Maybe the tool just wasn't found? The area was described as a kind of trap that is difficult to get out of. So where could this other person have gone?
