NBC Montana reported that search and rescue rangers found the victim's body in the pool along with his wallet and flip flops, but were prevented from recovering the remains by a lightning storm. The following day, rescue workers could not find Scott's remains.

"In a very short order there was a significant amount of dissolving," Veress said. The deputy chief ranger said the park posts warning signs due to the dangerous nature of the hot springs.

The National Park Service did not issue any citations in Scott's death. According to the AP, Scott died a day after six people were cited for walking off-trail at Yellowstone's Grand Prismatic Spring. A week after Scott's death, a Chinese tourist was fined $1,000 (£802.07) for breaking through the crust in the Mammoth Hot Springs area to college water for medicinal purposes.

This was on the OT this summer when it happened. This is old news.
