The man was visiting Grand Canyon National Park alone at about 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday when he reportedly fell off the edge at a viewing spot on the South Rim, said spokesman Murray Shoemaker. The National Park Service and the Coconino County Medical Examiner are investigating the death, but officials said it has initially been ruled accidental.
Park officials said a body was discovered on March 26 in an undeveloped area at the park’s South Rim, but not near any overlooks. No other details were released.
