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

I don’t think any of the initial reports stated anything about gender, relationship or infant/adult. Just two people.
Later reports did. We know they were father and son but we don’t know their ages though.


Keweenaw County Medical Examiner Dr. Michael McAllister said the victims are a father and son, though it’s not clear who died first.
 
Sad situation. I can't imagine being out in the wilderness and hearing the events unfold.

The two 911 calls were made separately, but both reported the same thing: Two bodies were at a remote campsite in Michigan’s Isle Royale National Park. Around 4 p.m. on June 8, two National Park Service (NPS) rangers responded to the calls, hiking 11 miles overnight to the remote location. When they found the scene, an investigation was opened, the FBI got involved, and despite identifying the bodies, no one yet knows their names.

Now, Keweenaw County Medical Examiner, Dr. Michael McAllister, has revealed to Michigan news outlet MLive that murder-suicide is the suspected cause of death. According to McAllister, the two victims appear to have been father and son, although it’s still unclear who died first.

Aircraft had to be used to extract them due to the remoteness of the location at South Lake Desor Campground. Both the NPS Investigative Services Branch (NPS-ISB) and the FBI are investigating the case.
