Bodies of Andrew Porter and Ian Stasko found by rescue crews after storm that likely killed them in split second'

Lightning strikes in Colorado earlier this month killed two elk hunters who were caught in a storm, authorities concluded this week.

Andrew Porter and Ian Stasko, both 25, had been hunting in the Rio Grande national forest in southern Colorado the week of 11 September when they stopped making contact. After extensive search-and-rescue operations, crews came upon their bodies a week later.
