Yellowstone Park Public Affairs personnel have provided limited information on an incident at Norris Geyser Basin today.
A witness reported that a man in his early 20’s walked off the boardwalk and fell into a hot spring.
At this time, rangers are treating this incident as a probable fatality because the victim has not been located.
Rangers are using extreme caution as they respond given the hazards of the thermal area.
The location of the incident is approximately 225 yards off the boardwalk.
The Norris Geyser Basin is currently closed.
The investigation is ongoing and no further information will be available this evening.
We will provide information as it is available tomorrow.
