POCATELLO — One of Idaho State University’s most well-known researchers has passed away.
Dr. Jeff Meldrum, a longtime professor of anatomy and anthropology at ISU, has died, according to a Thursday Facebook post from his family.
The post stated: “It is with profound sadness that the Meldrum family shares that Dr. Meldrum has passed following a battle with brain cancer. The illness was brief and he passed with his family at his side. He loved teaching and researching Bigfoot. But he was a husband and father first.”
Meldrum, age 67, was known as perhaps the world’s leading expert on Bigfoot and wrote several books on the topic. He also appeared on numerous Bigfoot TV programs and documentaries.
His family is asking for privacy in their time of grief.
