DNA testing has identified the person whose partial foot was seen floating in Yellowstone National Park’s Abyss Pool this summer.

Three months after the shoe-clad foot was spotted in the West Thumb Geyser Basin, National Park Service officials said the foot was that of 70-year-old Il Hun Ro, officials said Thursday in a news release.

What exactly is an "unwitnessed incident?" I assume it simply means "we think he fell in?"

If it was who knows?!

They didn’t find the rest of him. That was the sole piece of evidence left.

They would have gotten him out sooner, but they had to wait on the toe truck.

Not funny, guys, in light of this tragedy. You should feel like a couple of heels for making those jokes.

“What exactly is an “unwitnessed incident?”

I assume it is similar to unwitnessed death, which has legal ramifications. A person who is on hospice and has an unwitnessed death will not be autopsied but an unwitnessed death by someone not on hospice may be subject to autopsy.

Had to click through 3 links in the story, only to get this pathetic bit of crap jargon in an attempt to figure out what happend: The investigation determined, to the best of our knowledge, that an unwitnessed incident involving one individual happened on the morning of July 31, 2022, at Abyss Pool, and no foul play occurred. What exactly is an "unwitnessed incident?" I assume it simply means "we think he fell in?"

I know...makes me wonder if journalism school is actually just all leftist indoctrination and hardly anything about writing.
