A newlywed from Belarus swept away in an Alaskan river is the latest person to die while attempting to reach an abandoned bus made famous by the book and movie "Into the Wild."

Veramika Maikamava, 24, was washed downstream in the Teklanika River on Thursday, her husband, 24-year-old Piotr Markielau, told Alaska State Troopers. The river was flowing high and fast because of recent rains, according to the Associated Press.

The bus became the object of fascination after a book by Jon Krakauer in 1996 and a 2007 film written and directed by Sean Penn.

They both told the tale of Christopher McCandless, who gave away his possessions and wandered around the United States before hiking into the Denali wilderness with little food or equipment in 1992. Along the Stampede Trail, he found the bus, which had been used as a shelter for construction workers three years earlier, the AP reported.

The 24-year-old McCandless spent almost four months in the bus. His body and his journals were found by hunters in mid-September. It is assumed he starved to death.

Markielau told troopers he was able to pull Maikamava out of the water a short distance away downriver, but she had died by then, the AP also reported.
