An investigation started when a Yellowstone staff member discovered a foot fragment enclosed in a shoe floating in a hot spring at the national park.&nbsp;

The West Thumb Geyser Basin and its parking lot were temporarily closed as a result of the grim finding on Tuesday at the Abyss Pool in the southern region of Yellowstone. Since then, the area has reopened.

Park spokesperson Morgan Warthin said on Thursday that authorities are currently looking into the discovery but have no further information.

The West Thumb of Yellowstone Lake's Abyss Pool is 53 feet (16 metres) deep and is roughly 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius), according to park officials. It is located on the southern side of the park's southern loop.&nbsp;

In these hot springs, superheated water lowers and is replenished by hotter water from below as it cools as it approaches the surface. According to the park's website, the circulation keeps the water from heating up to the temperature required to produce a geyser.&nbsp;

Even though they are one of Yellowstone's most well-known attractions, hot springs can be fatally threatening. The park claims that more people have been hurt or killed by hot springs in Yellowstone than by any other natural feature.

In 2016, a guy from Oregon went into a boiling, acidic spring, where he was killed and his body "dissolved."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday honoured the survivours of 1959 Ladakh's Hot Spring attack, on the occasion of Police Commemoration Day.

Prime Minister Modi, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader LK Advani paid tributes to the policemen killed in an ambush by Chinese troops, who had violated Indian Territory in Aksai Chin area, on this day in 1959.

The Prime Minister marking the National Police Commemoration Day also inaugurated a 30-feet-tall and 238-tonne heavy black granite central sculpture honouring the slain troopers, a museum and a wall of valour bearing the names of over 34,800 martyred personnel.

Until the autumn of 1959, the Indian Police personnel were responsible for manning the 2,500-mile long border of India with Tibet. On October 20, 1959, three reconnaissance parties were launched from Hot Springs in preparation for further movement of an Indian expedition which was on its way to Lanak La. Two parties returned to Hot Springs by the afternoon of that day, while the third one comprising of two police constables and a porter did not return.

A party of about 20 personnel of the Intelligence Bureau and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) led by Karam Singh, DCIO proceeded ahead on horseback, while others followed on foot in three Sections.

At about midday, Chinese Army personnel on a hillock opened fire and threw grenades at the party and since there was no cover, most personnel were injured.

10 police personnel died, seven were taken as prisoners by the Chinese and the remaining managed to escape.

Bodies of the 10 personnel were returned by the Chinese only on November 28, 1959, after full five weeks of the incident.

Since then October 21 is observed as Commemoration Day in all Police Lines throughout India to mark the memory of these policemen who were killed in Ladakh and all other police personnel killed on duty during the year.
