ISLE ROYALE NATIONAL PARK, Mich. — U.S. authorities have identified the two individuals found dead at a remote campground on Isle Royale last weekend.
The National Park Service declined Thursday to release their names, genders, ages or hometowns, but said their next of kin had been notified.
NPS also said "there is no known threat to the public at this time."
No details have been released concerning the possible cause of death.
"This remains an ongoing investigation, and we have no further information to provide," the park service said in a brief statement.
Park rangers hiked overnight for 18 kilometres to the remote campsite in the middle of the park's main island Sunday after receiving reports that two people had been found dead.
Since then, investigators have used a helicopter and a fixed-wing aircraft to access the site.
In August 2024, a 37-year-old woman from Battle Creek, Michigan died from medical complications while hiking on Isle Royale.
A 70-year-old man from Superior, Wisconsin died in July 2024 while scuba diving at a shipwreck in park waters.
