Colin Scott, 23, died in June in an illegal attempt to soak, or "hot pot", in the US park's thermal pools.

23歲的科林·斯科特在今年6月份遊覽了美國黃石公園,由於企圖違反規定在公園內泡溫泉,他不慎跌入高溫水池內死亡。

The accident was recorded by the victim's sister on her Mobile phone, the incident report says.

據事故報告表示稱,斯科特的妹妹用手機記錄下了事故經過。

The grisly details came to light following a freedom-of-information request by local television news.

由於當地電視新聞提出信息自由的要求,這些恐怖的細節才最終被曝光。

Established in 1872, Yellowstone National Park is located mostly in the state of Wyoming but extends into parts of Montana and Idaho too.

美國黃石國家公園成立於1872年,大部分都位於懷俄明州,但是也有部分延伸到蒙太拿和愛達荷州。

According to the incident report, Mr Scott and his sister, Sable Scott, left the defined boardwalk area in Norris Basin on 7 June.

據事故報告顯示,6月7日在諾里斯盆,斯科特和他妹妹塞布爾地離開了木板走道區域。

"The whole area is geothermally active," Yellowstone's deputy chief ranger Lorant Veress told KULR 8, which broke the story. "There's a closure in place to protect people from doing that for their own safety. It's a very unforgiving environment."

黃石公園副總管理洛倫特向KULR 8電視臺(正是該電視臺曝光了這個事件)透露稱:“整個地區的地熱活動都很活躍。那個地區被封閉了起來,從而防止人們擅自行動、保護他們的安全。該地區的環境非常危險。”

He said the pair had been specifically looking for an area to soak in the thermal springs, despite the potential danger and warning signs.

據洛倫特表示,斯科特和他妹妹兩人當時正專門尋找一個地方來泡溫泉,渾然不顧潛在的危險和警示標誌。

Ms Scott was recording a video of her brother on the phone as he reached down to test the water, before he slipped and fell in.

當斯科特走近水池試水溫的時候,他的妹妹塞布爾在一旁用手機錄視頻,後來斯科特就滑進了水池並沉了下去。

Authorities did not share the video, or a description of its contents, out of sensitivity to the family, the report says.

據報道,由於考慮到遇難者家庭的感受,黃石公園官方並沒有公佈這份視頻和任何有關視頻內容的描述。

Rescue teams later found his body in the pool but abandoned attempts to retrieve it due to the decreasing light available, the danger to themselves and an approaching lightning storm.

搜救隊後來在水池裏發現了斯科特,但是卻放棄了試圖打撈遺體的做法,因爲天黑照明條件越來越不好、一場雷雨即將到來、他們自己也面臨着危險。

The following day, workers were unable to find any significant remains in the boiling water. "In a very short order, there was a significant amount of dissolving," Mr Veress said.

但是第二天,工人們卻已經不能在沸騰的池水中找到遺體了。據洛倫特表示:“在很短的一段時間內,遺體溶解得非常嚴重。”
