Two tourists died in separate incidents near Alaska's Mendenhall Glacier this week. A 69-year-old Arizona man, Thomas Casey, fell while hiking, his body found after a search. Separately, an Italian man fell into a glacier stream, swept into an ice crevice. Rescuers deemed it too dangerous to retrieve him due to rushing water. Both deaths highlight the risks of glacier hiking, even near accessible areas like the popular Mendenhall Glacier.
