Two men from Portland died in a forest in Washington state after going missing on a hunt for Sasquatch around Christmas.
Two men were found dead Saturday in a forest in southwestern Washington, where they disappeared last week while searching for Sasquatch, authorities said. The bodies of the men, 37 and 59, were discovered after a three-day search through the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, according to the Skamania County Sheriff's Office. Exposure appeared to be the cause of both deaths, the sheriff said in a statement, noting the men seemed unprepared for the brutally cold weather.
Their probe 'over difficult terrain and harsh weather conditions' launched Christmas Day, when Skamania County sheriffs received a report of two individuals whose return from an outdoor excursion to track down Sasquatch was overdue.Also known as Bigfoot, Sasquatch is a mythical creature that in folklore is said to inhabit North American forests, especially those in the Pacific Northwest.
