A 33-year-old man fell more than 4,000 feet to his death Saturday at the Grand Canyon in Arizona, according to a report.
At around 9:00 a.m. local time, the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports that a person had fallen over the Sky Walk, an attraction at the canyon’s tourist complex allowing visitors to walk over the canyon’s more than 4,000-foot drop. A helicopter was deployed down into the canyon and responders found the man had died from the impact of the fall, per Fox News.
