Man falls into Yellowstone hot springs, body dissolves in fatal ‘hot pot’ calamity - TomoNews (2 Videos)

Unfortunately, this is not the first time someone has died falling into the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park. In fact, we've posted an article on our The Many Faces of Death blog, back in 2011 of a man jumping into one to save his dog with tragic results...

MAMMOTH, WYOMING — A 23-year-old man who died in Yellowstone National Park last summer was reportedly trying to find a place to soak in the area’s natural hot springs. 

Portland, Oregon graduate Colin Scott was killed on June 7 when his body dissolved in the boiling acidic waters of a hot spring in the Norris Geyser basin. 

Yellowstone officials released the final incident report following a Freedom of Information Act request by NBC affiliate KULR. 

Scott’s sister Sable filmed the whole thing on her cellphone, according to the report, but the video has not been released to the public.
