It is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the United States, especially for its hot springs. But this Friday, August 19, a dirty announcement was made from Yellowstone National Park in the northwest of the country. A piece of foot was found by an agent in the “Abyss Pool,” one of the deepest in the park, where the water rises to 60°C.
An ongoing investigation
The human remains were found in a shoe and an investigation was launched immediately. Park police said the discovery followed “an event involving an individual that likely occurred on July 31, 2022.” At this point, the park believes this is not a bad game. Investigations continue to determine the circumstances of the death.”
A death in 2016
The authorities have once again called on the many visitors to the site to be careful. In 2021, two people suffered severe burns from falling into the water. In 2016, a young man died under similar circumstances, according to AFP, quoted by HuffPost.
