Two men die of cold in the United States after getting lost in a forest looking for Bigfoot

Two men have died of cold in a forest in the northwest of the United States after leaving on Christmas Day to try to locate Bigfoot, a mythological creature that, according to legend, would still be hidden in inhospitable places in the North American country.

The two men, ages 37 and 59 and residents of Portland (Oregon), disappeared last Wednesday after entering the Gifford Pinchot forest, in the state of Washington. After three days of searching, emergency services located their lifeless bodies on Saturday.

The Skamania County Sheriff’s Office has identified exposure to the cold as the most likely cause of the deaths, in a statement in which it acknowledged that none of them were prepared for the frigid temperatures.

More than 60 dozen volunteers participated in the search operations and the Police wanted to especially thank the work of the people who “sacrificed the time to be with their families at Christmas” to join in these tasks, also coping with their own time. these dates.
