- UPDATE: The body of the man who fell into a hot spring in Yellowstone National Park on Tuesday will not be recovered.
“Recovery efforts have been terminated in part because we have not been able to locate any remains, unfortunately,” Morgan Warthin, a spokeswoman for the park, told EastIdahoNews.com.
PREVIOUS STORY:
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. - Park officials have released the name of a man who fell into a hot spring at the Norris Geyser Basin.
Colin Nathaniel Scott, 23, of Portland, Oregon, was with his sister, Sable Scott, when the incident occurred on Tuesday about 225 yards off the boardwalk near Pork Chop Geyser.
“Using extreme caution given the hazards of the thermal area, rangers confirmed Scott’s death Tuesday evening,” according to a news release from the park.
Rangers were focusing their efforts on recovering the body Wednesday. The Norris Geyser Basin is open, but there will be temporary closures in the area until the investigation is complete.
The death is the second thermal-related incident to occur in the park during the 2016 summer season. Last Saturday, a father and son suffered burns in the Upper Geyser Basin after walking off the designated trail in the thermal area, park officials said.
“We extend our sympathy to the Scott family,” said Yellowstone Superintendent Dan Wenk. “This tragic event must remind all of us to follow the regulations and stay on boardwalks when visiting Yellowstone’s geyser basins.”
EastIdahoNews.com has a crew at the park and will update this story with more details as they become available.

What a nice lady. Such a soft voice.
she has a lovely soft voice
Horrible thing for his sister to witness. So sad. :(
she probably told him it was a dumb idea
@@priceandpride So quick to talk about stuff you don't know anything about. Did you even read the news story? She also went off the boardwalk to hot pot. They were both going to soak together. The only reason she didn't get killed or seriously injured is because her accomplice slipped.
@RoseSharon7777 If she hadn't been hot potting, she wouldn't of witnessed a thing.
She's trying to be tactful about the deceased. She alluded several times that the water was very acidic.
Sad my ass. There are signs everywhere telling you to stay on the boardwalk. It's not a suggestion.
I read somewhere that the mans sister recorded it on her phone. He died immediately. RIP.
He did it for the vine
I could listen to this lady's voice all day,so soothing and gentle,bless her.
Imagine visiting Yellowstone, looking at the hot springs, and this guy’s skull bubbles up to the surface! 😳
It's so hot that literally everything would disintegrate. You'd never see his skull
What disintegrating feels like
Acidity is less than 2 which is enough to dissolve his bones. This is why they gave up on retrieving his body because any metal would just dissolve except for a few special materials.
We live in a world where teenagers need to be told not to eat Tide pods.
That was 2 years ago good times
College proves nothing when it comes to common sense.
When they send them to university.
what the actual fuck is wrong with you?! this man died an incredibly painful death, and you post something as disgusting as this?!
Ahhh...that happens to be true and your post proves it. Have a nice day.
I understand that this guy was someone's brother, son, boyfriend etc... But it doesn't take a genius to read a sign and STAY ON THE BOARD WALK
She is very informative and polite. God bless them
He did it to himself. I have no sympathy for him but I do for his family and friends
Some disgusting comments from people who seem incapable of empathy .Shame on you all enclosed in your little rooms looking at your computer screens waiting to troll.
Sorry but i have no sympathy for people who's stupidity is the cause of their own premature demise. I do however feel sorry for his sister who had to witness it all.
Lol ok. This man was old enough to know better. I have no sympathy for him. He is, rather WAS an idiot.

@@killman369547 people do stupid things all the time. Stand there and tell me you never did anything stupid in your entire life. Maybe some of us haven’t risked our lives doing something stupid, but how many close calls have innocent people had because something that they didn’t perceive as dangerous, suddenly became dangerous very quickly? For you to tell everyone here you have NO SYMPATHY for a truly agonizing death over a foolish choice is just terrible. I hope that never happens to you or anyone else.
Rules are there for a reason.
yeah, stay on the trail
They have warnings all along the boardwalks. The park does a great job alerting visitors of the dangers.
What a lovely lady.
he has litterally been converted to gas! sooo is that fossil fuel or green energy?
Liberal 23 octane .....
imo....
...
He paid for his mistake. Not like he hurt anybody. Not sure why all the hate.
Leave the poor guy the hell alone!!! He paid his price for not paying attention to the damn sign don’t you think??If it was one of your family members you wouldn’t be saying that
You would still be angry at them somewhat. If you tell someone something and they dont listen. You just think how arrogant do you have to be to believe nothing will happen to you
They should setup cams and record these incidents. That would dissuade any future trespassing.
And this would stop people HOW???
+Scott Wallace I think he meant seeing a video of a horrific death like this would make more people take rules seriously.
Apparently, signs aren't good enough for liberal retards...........................
Supposedly, the sister has video footage on her cell phone.
@@frankdrebin2343 it could be lost or deleted guess we will never know
Everyone in the comments block seem to have lost focus on the story matter. Is Yellowstone going to fucking blow or not? Get with it man
It’s not an if it’s a when
Why don't they install a rail so that people cannot get off and walk
The last time I went they had ropes and signs on the boardwalks :)
Because they shouldn’t need to. Stay on the boardwalk and you’ll be fine. This is nature, not disneyland.
people dont care
Stupid people will just climb over the rail. You can’t stupid proof the world and have them bear offspring just to do more stupid things.
People will do anything to take a picture and for a few likes on social media.
Could they install glass walls or at least a fence or something on the boardwalks to discourage this sort of stuff?
There are a lot of wildlife in the park, it would disrupt their way of life. There are wodden boardwalks and signs all over the place telling people not to step off the path. I'm sorry he died, but you can't fix stupid.
Julie Myers That makes sense. I can understand how fences of any sort could be disruptive to wildlife. And the less disruptive they are, the less effective they would be at... shall we say... discouraging stupid!
Jared Hoeft Nope. Natural selection can just do its thing, if people don't want to follow rules and obey posted warning signs. You can't idiot-proof nature.
Exactly. I think it's sad that they had to close down Nutty Putty Cave after years of spelunkers enjoying their hobby just because someone made an bad decision to explore an uncharted and extremely tight crevice. I feel bad for John Jones, but they should have just closed off where he died rather than the whole cave.
Glass walls seriously how about don't be a dumb butt and get off the boardwalk it's always those people who think the rules don't apply his Sister probably said don't it's a bad idea
She’s an angel
I dont mean to be insensitive to this individuals loved ones. But, Im just curious... will the tours forever be narrated as "And... in this hot spring...there is a body that will never be recovered." ?
Probably not, or of they do bring it up they make all take a moment of silence for him
Thermogenic organisms in the water. There is nothing left.
Yellowstone has some of the most polluted water on the planet, heavy metals, mercury, you name it. By the time the water gets to the bottom of the hill it’s clean enough for trout to live in. Thermogenic organisms. They eat everything. You can tell which species is present by the colors. Yeah I worked at Yellowstone one year. And a guy fell in that year and they didn’t get him out either.
There’s no recovery because he was disintegrated. That pool is sulfuric acid and beyond boiling temperatures.
@@Great_Lake_Surfer that's kinda creepy
And the winner of the 2016 Darwin Award is....
sadly... what did he expect? maybe he was on something

He. Should. Have. Never. Left. The. Board. Walk. A. Very. Dangerous. Place. People. Like. Him. Needs. To. Take. These. Rules. More. Seriously also. Lable. Them. Acidic. Pools. Stay away
Pro tip, you don't need to put a period behind every word.
@@killman369547 It's called emphasizing.
just natural selection at work.
Looks just like our Mounties up here :)

Bears are smart enough to stay away.
Hello! I’m Park Ranger ASMR!!! 😂
She has a lovely voice, no screechy loud nasal tone.
release the video
Add an audio track to your videos.
News officials are claiming this just happened???
He’s long gone and totally desloved
this coulda been me. my dumb ass walked off the deck =[
His body probably melted!
Rip to this man, people be careful nature does not have any boundaries.
It's not only hot but acidic , so yes he melted...
Such an environment would literally bake the flesh peel off the bone.
I wonder if his bones are still there,but have just sunk to the bottom of the hot spring?
richiefranklin76 ... The acidity part probably melted his bones also...
@@funkyflights they should release photos of the spring where this man died and some video too to see it in detail
Toasty
Yes
oregon duck soup
Why is this so funny yet so traumatized
Darwinism at its finest.
At least he won't be polluting the gene pool, lol!
I wish we could say that about all religious people.
Berny I think it's time you let go of your childish delusions of atheists being some how superior to others.
Contrary to your misguided beliefs;you kiddy millennial atheist neck beards aren't more enlightened then all of past humanity before you,that believed in a higher power.
@@richiefranklin76 Just a whole lot less HYPOCRITICAL...
@@d.dedrick7991 Oh no, you atheists are every bit as hypocritical because instead of being *TRUE* atheists and not worshipping anything, you idiot's worship government as if it were God.
