Man's last moments filmed as he dissolved in acid leaving just shoes and wallet

Colin Scott slipped and fell into the scorching water close to Porkchop Geyser in Yellowstone National Park while he had been out with his sister Sable looking for a swimming spot

The shoes and wallet survived? Whatever brands those were, they should put that in their commercial.

they don't actually show the video, fwiw. just grisly words.

There's nothing explicit in it. Just says he fell in, died from the heat, and dissolved overnight. No video released.
