Since there was no signal, Colin’s sister left the area and went to a neighboring museum for assistance.
It was unfortunately too late for Colin when she returned to the scene of the event with park authorities. They claimed to have seen his hands, upper body, and head in the hot spring.
A V-neck shirt was identifiable, and “what seemed to be a cross was visible and resting on the subject’s face,” according to an incident report by U.S. park ranger Phil Strehle.
The corpse of Colin Scott, 23, could not be located by authorities. The social media platform Facebook took credit.
The ‘volatile’ thermal region and impending storm prevented rescuers from retrieving Colin’s corpse. Authorities didn’t find any trace of him when they returned the next day.
