Authorities have found two hikers dead on a remote island in Lake Superior and admit a mystery around their deaths.

The investigation began on Sunday, when National Park Service rangers received multiple reports of dead bodies at a remote campground within Isle Royale National Park near Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Two rangers hiked 11 miles overnight to reach the area and discovered two people dead. Park authorities are now conducting an investigation.
