- Tourist dies in Death Valley after getting stranded on remote road in 116 degree-heat
A French tourist named Pierre Michel Formosa died in Death Valley National Park after his car became stuck in mud on a remote backcountry road. Facing extreme heat of 116 degrees Fahrenheit, he was found by search crews later that afternoon. Officials stressed that staying with a disabled vehicle provides essential shade and is safer than walking in the park's remote terrain.
