Lost Media: Tragic Death of Colin Scott



On June 7th siblings 23-year-old Colin Scott and his sister Sable would travel to Yellowstone National Park. At the time Colin had recently graduated from Pacific University and was visiting his sister from Portland, Oregon. The two planned to have a day trip to Yellowstone.

They would park not far from the Norris Geyser Basin in the Wyoming part of the park. Sable would record their trip and when they found that there was no one there with them on the boardwalk route they decided to venture off it. 

The two planned to hot pot which is the prohibited exercise of swimming in hot springs. They would pass by warning signs and venture into a forbidden area. This area was prohibited due to the heat and acidity of the hot springs. These areas were dangerous and deadly and since 1890 there have been 22 known deaths from hotspring accidents. 

The siblings would venture and a terrible accident would happen. Collin would slip into one of these hot springs. Sage would try to save her brother, but it wasn't possible. She would then run to the museum and beg for help. The whole accident would be caught on her phone. 

By the time help arrived, it was obviously too late to save the young man. The only thing they could see was his head hands and upper torso and he was unmoving. It was too dangerous at the time to try to retrieve his body with the oncoming lightning storm and the volatile temperatures of the pools. The hotspring would completely dissolve his body overnight due to the heat and acidic nature of it. Only his wallet and flip-flops were found.

His death was tragic and left a warning to others about the dangers of going into prohibited areas. The recording is considered lost media and it would be best that it's left that way.
