The National Park Service is working to determine the identity of a person who was found dead in Yellowstone National Park earlier this month.
On Wednesday, March 2, visitors snowshoeing within the boundaries of Yellowstone National Park, near the town of West Yellowstone, came across the partial remains of an individual in the snow, according to a news release from the Park Service.
The following day, park rangers and volunteers found more remains heavily scavenged by animals; however, there is no evidence that this death was the result of an animal attack, the Park Service said. Indications at the scene suggest the individual died within the park sometime in January and there are no signs of foul play.
The National Park Service is working with the Montana Crime Lab to determine the identity of the individual.
