Drowning victims in Glacier National Park identified

Officials identified the two individuals who drowned in Glacier National Park on July 6 as 26-year-old Siddhant Vitthal Patil from India and 28-year-old Raju Jha of Nepal.

Patil was hiking above the gorge on Avalanche Lake Trail and left the trail, park officials said. While standing on a large rock, he fell into Avalanche Creek. 

It remains unclear if he slipped on a wet rock or lost his balance, officials said. Friends and witnesses saw him fall into the creek, go underwater and resurface briefly before being swept up by the current and into the gorge.
