GRAND CANYON VILLAGE, Ariz. — A hiker at the Grand Canyon died on Saturday, National Park Services officials said.
The hiker became unresponsive and bystanders initiated CPR while three NPS paramedics responded from Phantom Ranch. The resuscitation attempts were unsuccessful and the hiker, later identified as 69-year-old Scott Sims from Austin, Texas, died. In the summer, temperatures on exposed parts of the trail can reach over 120 degrees even in the shade. Park rangers strongly advise not hiking in the inner canyon during the heat of the day between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
An investigation into the incident is being conducted by the NPS in coordination with the Coconino County Medical Examiner. The NPS did not release any further information regarding the incident. You can now watch 12News content anytime, anywhere thanks to the 12News+ app!
