A woman found dead in a car in Yellowstone National Park in May died by suicide, Yellowstone National Park officials said Wednesday.
According to a park press release, the Teton County Coroner’s Office determined that Catheryn Danyelle Griffin, 38, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Griffin was found in May by park law enforcement officers on Craig Pass, three miles south of Old Faithful. She was in the passenger seat of a vehicle that had been driven into a snowbank.
A man, later identified as Michael Wayne Mccollum, 47 of Texas, was with Griffin, standing outside the vehicle when rangers arrived at the scene.
Mccollum was detained and arrested for alleged drug possession and other traffic-related charges.
The release said the incident remains under investigation.
No further details were available.
