2 Oregon men died from exposure after going to search for Sasquatch
Two men were found dead Saturday in a forest in southwestern Washington,
where they disappeared last week while searching for Sasquatch,
authorities said.
The bodies of the men, 37 and 59, were discovered after a three-day
search through the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, according to the
Skamania County Sheriff's Office. Exposure appeared to be the cause of
both deaths, the sheriff said in a statement, noting the men seemed
unprepared for the brutally cold weather.
Neither man was identified, but the sheriff said the pair was from
Portland, Oregon.
The sheriff's office had coordinated a search and rescue operation that
involved the United States Coast Guard, multiple local law enforcement
agencies and 60 volunteers, including canine, drone and ground search
teams, to locate the missing men.
Their probe "over difficult terrain and harsh weather conditions"
launched Christmas Day, when Skamania County sheriffs received a report
of two individuals whose return from an outdoor excursion to track down
Sasquatch was overdue.
Also known as Bigfoot, Sasquatch is a mythical creature that in folklore
is said to inhabit North American forests, especially those in the
Pacific Northwest.
"The Skamania County Sheriff's Office would like to recognize the
exceptional volunteers who sacrificed time away from their families
during Christmas to assist our agency with this mission," the office
said. "These phenomenal volunteers also fought through freezing
temperatures, snow, high water levels, heavy rain, downfall, and heavily
wooded terrain. Their exhaustive search efforts resulted in bringing
family members home to their loved ones."
