Yellowstone National Park officials said DNA analysis matched the foot, which was found in August, to Il Hun Ro, who is believed to have died July 31. No foul play is suspected.
Part of a human foot found floating in a shoe in Yellowstone National Park’s Abyss Pool about three months ago belonged to a 70-year-old Los Angeles man who died in an unspecified incident, authorities said Thursday.
On Aug. 16, a park staffer in August found the body part in the Abyss Pool, a well-known hot spring in Yellowstone’s West Thumb Geyser Basin in northwestern Wyoming, the National Park Service said.“The investigation determined, to the best of our knowledge, that an unwitnessed incident involving one individual happened on the morning of July 31 … and no foul play occurred,” park officials said. “Based on a lack of evidence, the circumstances surrounding the death of Ro remain unknown.
The Abyss Pool plunges more than 50 feet and is one of the deepest hot springs in Yellowstone, according to the park service. Its temperature is about 140 degrees. The ground around hydrothermal areas of the park is thin and fragile, and scalding water lies just below the surface.Man severely burned after falling into Yellowstone hot spring
