The investigation into the man’s death is ongoing, but he is one of hundreds who have died in what’s known as America’s most dangerous national park.

He’s thought to have fallen from the Sky Walk Horseshoe attraction, which juts out over the canyon and Colorado river below.

A Freedom of Information request revealed that the park has the highest number of missing people in the nation.

At least six people have died and more than 50 have gone missing in the park within the last five years.

The most common cause of death at the Grand Canyon is heat stroke, lightning, drowning, suicides, and accidental falls.

A hiker fell 20ft to her death while on the sixth day of a boating trip along the Colorado River.

Margaret Osswald, 34, died just off the banks of the Colorado River.

The deadly accident occurred on Monday evening near the campsite where Osswald was staying while on a multi-day hiking and boating trip.

After the fall, companions of Osswald attempted CPR, but she remained unresponsive, according to the Arizona Republic.

First responders arrived at the scene on Monday evening and Osswald was pronounced dead.

In 2019, a tourist fell to his death at the Grand Canyon after getting too close to the edge while taking photos.

The man’s body has been retrieved by helicopter, according to Grand Canyon West spokesman David Leibowitz, with the area having been temporarily closed.

The Grand Canyon is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the U.S., drawing nearly 6.4 million visitors last year.
