Man's body 'dissolved' by Yellowstone hot spring after seeking place to swim

• Colin Scott, 23, was looking for a 'hot pot' to swim in with his sister
• Rescuers concluded that extreme heat and acidity dissolved remains

An Oregon man who died and "dissolved" after falling into a boiling, acidic hot spring at Yellowstone national park last June had been looking for a place to swim, officials investigating the incident have concluded.

Colin Scott, 23, was hiking through a prohibited section of the park on 7 June with his sister, Sable, when Scott fell into a hot spring "and did not get out", according to a report released by the National Park Service on Thursday.
