A 48-year-old man suffered severe burns at Yellowstone National Park after falling into a hot spring at the Old Faithful geyser.
Rangers were called to the Old Faithful Inn on Sunday after Cade Edmond Siemers, a U.S. citizen who resides in India, suffered severe burns to a significant portion of his body, the park service said. Siemers told rangers that he went for a walk without a flashlight and tripped and fell into the thermal water.
Rangers found evidence that Siemers may have been drinking alcohol at the time, according to the National Park Service. When they went back to the scene Monday, authorities found Siemers' shoe, hat, and a beer can along with footprints leading to and from the geyser.
The 48-year-old was taken to the Burn Center at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center...MORE
Oops, just having a little fun. The actual headline was "Yellowstone National Park visitor suffers severe burns after falling into thermal water at Old Faithful"
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003.
