A man tragically met his end by being boiled alive and subsequently dissolved in a hot spring, while his sister captured the horrifying incident on film. Colin Scott, 23, slipped and fell into the blistering waters near Porkchop Geyser in Yellowstone National Park, where he was cooked alive before the highly acidic waters dissolved his body.
