An 80-year-old man visiting Grand Canyon National Park died after his boat flipped in the Colorado River, park authorities said. The incident unfolded Sunday around 3:40 p.m. near Fossil Rapid on the river. The Grand Canyon Regional Communications Center was alerted about an emergency via satellite phone that the man had entered the river after his boat flipped and was being treated with CPR.
local time, the body of Chenoa Nickerson, 33, from Gilbert, Arizona was found by a commercial river trip in the Colorado River.
