Park officials were notified on Wednesday around noon that an individual had fallen off an edge, according to a National Park Service statement released Thursday. Rangers discovered the body of a 67-year-old man 400 feet below the South Rim in Grand Canyon Village.
National Park Service officials and the local medical examiner's office are still looking into the tourist's death. His identity has not yet been released.
On March 28, another visitor tripped while taking a photo. The tourist from Hong Kong fell over a 1,000-foot rim near the Grand Canyon Skywalk. The horseshoe-shaped bridge, a famous observation and photo sight on the Hualapai reservation, was closed to the public the following day, the Associated Press reported.
