Norris Geyser Basin
-- A man who died at Yellowstone National Park in June likely "dissolved" in the "superheated, acidic mud pot" after
falling into a hot spring, according to an incident report released by the National Park Service. Colin Scott and his
sister wandered off trail near the Norris Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park on June 7, 2016, according to
the report, released this week. Scott then slipped and fell into a hot spring, and his sister ran to get help after she
was unable to pull him out. A little before 8 p.m. that day, a rescue crew went to the hot spring and saw his body
there. They were not able to recover his body that night because of safety concerns due to the growing darkness
and a lightning storm, the incident report says.
When workers returned the next day, they could not find his body, but they did locate his wallet and shoes, according
to the incident report, which noted that his remains were never recovered. The water of the spring where Scott fell
was measured at pH 5 (mildly acidic), and the temperature was recorded at over 100℃degrees, according to the
60-page report. "Evidence suggests that the extreme heat and the acidity of the water quickly dissolved his body
in the hot spring," the report reads, and the death was recorded as accidental, with the cause of death "scalding
due to submersion in thermal hot spring."
Authorities say hot springs have injured or killed more people in Yellowstone than any other natural feature.
