Why are so many people dying at the Grand Canyon lately?
The body of a 67-year-old California man was found 400 feet below the South Rim last week after he fell from the edge in the Grand Canyon Village.A Texas doctor died from heat exhaustion after she separated from her children in search of water while hiking the canyon in 2017.
"Virtually every single one of these fatal events are preventable and didn't have to happen," Ghiglieri said. The number of over-flight deaths has dropped dramatically in recent years. The 2018 crash of a tour plane on the West Rim of the Grand Canyon marked the first air fatality in more than a decade. Three British tourists and their pilot died in the crash. Two other passengers died in the hospital days later. Falls are the second most common cause of death in the canyon. Ghiglieri recorded 125 fatal falls — including 64 from the rim and 61 within the canyon.
Margaret Bradley, a lauded marathoner, died of dehydration in 2004 after she attempted to run a 27-mile route in nearly 120-degree summer temperatures with a partner. Officials said the pair were underprepared and didn't bring enough water.
