On Saturday, tragedy struck Big Bend National Park in Texas when a 14-year-old boy and his stepfather died while hiking in extreme heat. Park Rangers and agents from the U.S. Border Patrol arrived to find the teen had passed away and the stepfather had attempted to hike back to their vehicle, but had crashed down an embankment. The National Park Service has expressed its condolences and reminds hikers to take precautions when in extreme heat.
