A French tourist, Pierre Michel Formosa, aged 68, died after becoming stranded in Death Valley National Park, California, during a heatwave.

The temperature reached 47°C, and after walking approximately two kilometers, Formosa was unable to continue. His companion continued alone, eventually reaching Badwater Road where he flagged down a passing driver and reported the incident. Search and rescue operations by park rangers and sheriff’s deputies located Formosa later in the afternoon, but he had already passed away. The exact cause of death remains under investigation. Officials have expressed condolences to the family and emphasized the dangers of visiting Death Valley, urging visitors to prepare adequately with water, supplies, and communication devices.
