2 Campers Found Dead ID'd As Michigan Father And Son: Report

MICHIGAN — Two campers who were found dead on Isle Royale National Park last month have been identified as a father and son, Bradley Baird, 30, and John Baird, 60, of Northville, the Detroit News reports.

Autopsy findings were still pending, but Keweenaw County Medical Examiner Michael McAllister told MLive last month that it was likely a murder-suicide, though it was unclear who died first.

John Baird, a U.S. Army veteran, was the president of Admitted Carriers, an insurance company, and his son was a self-employed writer, TV6 reported, citing death certificates.

The campers were found dead on June 8 at the South Lake Desor Campground, located within the Lake Superior park at Isle Royale National Park.

Two rangers hiked 11 miles overnight to investigate the scene at the remote campsite where they found the bodies, officials said.

The FBI continues to investigate the incident and has not yet released any details surrounding the deaths. The National Park Service did say that the deaths were not animal-related and that there was never additional danger to the public.

Isle Royale National Park is a remote wilderness in Lake Superior off the Keweenaw Peninsula. The park is best known for backpacking, hiking, camping and other recreational activities. It is one of the most remote and least visited national parks in the country. You can only reach the island by ferry, boat or seaplane.
