Authorities have launched an investigation after a body was found inside a vehicle in Yellowstone National Park.
The park explained that rangers on Saturday discovered a vehicle that had crashed into a snowbank, and a male standing outside. A deceased female was found inside the vehicle.
“The male was detained and subsequently arrested for drug possession and other traffic-related charges,” the park stated in a news release. “Investigators are determining what led to the female’s death and attempting to complete next-of-kin notifications.”
The vehicle was discovered on Craig Pass south of Old Faithful. Additional information was not disclosed.
The investigation involves the National Park Service, FBI, U.S. Attorney’s Office, and Teton County Coroner’s Office.
