Man dead from falling in Yellowstone hot spring

I think that he is solely responsible for his death but the media is probably going to treat him very well

Let it simmer a little while longer then, it'll take out some of the bite.

Yeah, boiling bodies for a long period of time is how they prepare/make medical demonstration skeletons. My guess is the clean up personnel and police waited to retrieve the body so the soft tissue is all boiled off and evaporated, then retrieve the skeleton and hand it over to the funeral home and family.

Very sad and nasty, but as it's already been said the guy was asking for it. They say not to venture off the paths at Yellowstone, and there's a reason for it. Between this and the people that kidnapped a buffalo calf and drove it around the park, it seems like there's always people doing stupid dangerous shit there. They're probably going to have to increase security to protect the tourists from themselves.

Oh, I wouldn't doubt that. They'll probably have to set up cameras everywhere and have rangers walking the parameters from all corners and in-between.

That Palahniuk story was actually inspired by a similar case to this one. In 1981, David Allen Kirwan jumped into a thermal spring to save his friend's dog, Moosie, who had gotten loose and jumped into the spring. Both he and Moosie died. Maybe I'm just speaking as a dog lover, but I can understand Kirwan's death better than this recent one.

That incident immediately came to my mind as well, right as I read the thread title.
Perhaps it was for the best that the man didn't manage to get out of the water in this case, especially when you read about what happened to Allen Kirwan. Third-degree burns over 100% of your body, with your skin peeling off... *shudder*
