Mysterious Mummies Found Near US Campsite, Coroner Reveals Eerie Facts
‘Mummified’ Bodies Discovered Near US Campsite, Coroner Releases Haunting Details
Prepare to be captivated by a chilling tale from the remote wilderness of Colorado. In a desolate campground, three individuals were found in a state so eerie that authorities described them as ”mummified” and “heavily decomposed.”
The Gunnison County Sheriff’s Office, responsible for law enforcement in this sparsely populated area, received a shocking report from a hiker. The hiker had stumbled upon the bodies in a secluded part of the region, far from civilization.
“On Sunday, July 9th, 2023 at approximately 4:57 PM, the Gunnison County Sheriff’s Office was contacted by a person who was hiking in the area of the Gold Creek Campground and discovered a remote campsite with a heavily decomposed deceased individual within the camp,”

Further investigation revealed two additional heavily decomposed bodies at the campsite. It appeared that these unfortunate individuals had been deceased for quite some time.
The identities of the deceased are being withheld for now, pending the completion of autopsies. However, authorities have assured residents and outdoor enthusiasts that there are no known risks associated with this tragic event.
According to the Gunnison County Coroner, the three individuals had embarked on a long-term camping adventure in July 2022, with intentions to brave the winter. Early evidence suggests that they may have even planned to make this remote location their permanent home. The coroner suspects that malnutrition and exposure led to their demise, but the official cause of death is still pending the conclusion of forensic autopsies.
While it is believed that the deceased campers were related, their condition is such that dental records will be required to confirm their identities and genders.
Sheriff Adam Murdie revealed that foul play is not suspected in this case. The bodies were found in an individual campground, nestled deep in the hills, about 1,000 feet away from the Gold Creek Campground. The sheriff described their condition as resembling mummification, indicating that they had likely been there throughout the winter.
Authorities discovered a blue tent, empty food cans, and a lean-to shelter at the campsite, providing some insight into the campers’ lives before their tragic end.

The harsh winter conditions in the area, with several feet of snowfall, may have contributed to the campers’ deaths or the advanced state of decomposition.
Sheriff Murdie expressed his bewilderment at this unusual occurrence, stating that they are determined to uncover the true purpose of the campers’ presence in such a remote location.
The Gunnison County Sheriff’s Office is actively searching for any missing persons reports that could shed light on the situation. However, until the next of kin have been notified, the coroner will not release the identities of the deceased.
This grim case serves as a stark reminder of the power of nature and the need to approach it with caution and respect. The exact details of how and why these individuals met their fate may forever remain a mystery, given the remote and secluded nature of the campsite and the advanced state of “mummification.”
Nevertheless, our thoughts and prayers go out to the campers and their loved ones. We can only hope that further information will bring them some closure.
