AP-"A 23-year-old man who was scalded to death after falling into a boiling Yellowstone National Park hot spring in June was trying to test the temperature of the bubbling pool for a soak when he slipped in, according to a report on the incident. Colin Nathaniel Scott was seen by his sister, Sable, plunging into the hot spring near Pork Chop Geyser on June 7. His body was never recovered and, according to the Department of the Interior report, likely dissolved in the highly acidic, 212°F water. The department's 60-page report, first made public this week following a Freedom of Information Act request by a Montana television station, says that the brother and sister had left the park boardwalk and entered a dangerous area marked by warning signs."

Darwin award winner. He deliberately entered a dangerous area marked by signs then tried to go "for a soak" in a boiling pool of water.

Is it bad that I'm more worried about the delicate microbiomes, that may be affected by this incident, more than the dead guy?

I guess they're fine with it, according to another article on this same story this has happened several times before.
