Two people died at the Grand Canyon this week. One fell over the edge while trying to take pictures


GRAND CANYON WEST, Ariz. — Two people have died at the Grand Canyon in separate incidents this week that included one man stumbling over the edge of the rim while trying to take pictures, officials said. The Hualapai reservation includes a roughly 100-mile (161-kilometre) stretch of the Grand Canyon at its western edge. Meanwhile, authorities at Grand Canyon National Park — about 95 miles (153 kilometres) east — were working to identify a person believed to be a foreign national. Grand Canyon National Park is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the U.S., drawing nearly 6.4 million visitors last year. ——This story has been corrected to show Leibowitz is a spokesman for Grand Canyon West, not the tribe.
