23-YEAR OLD MAN DIES AFTER FALLING INTO YELLOWSTONE HOT SPRING



A man has died after falling into a hot spring at Yellowstone National Park in the US state of Wyoming.

Colin Nathaniel Scott, 23, of Portland, Oregon, was with his sister and had walked more than 200 yards away from the designated boardwalk when he slipped and fell into the acidic hot spring in the Norris Geyser Basin, park officials said.

His sister reported his fall and rangers tried to navigate the highly-fragile crust of the geyser basin to recover his body, but they have now suspended efforts "due to the extreme nature and futility of it all".


Sky News gathered that his death occurred in one of the hottest and most volatile areas of the park.
