Man apparently dies by suicide at Grand Canyon Skywalk
The Skywalk is a horseshoe-shaped glass walkway that juts about 70 feet over the canyon overlooking the Colorado River.
Man falls to his death from Grand Canyon's Skywalk overlook - namesake national park is America's most dangerous, with highest numbers of deaths
- A man fell 4,000 feet to his death at the Grand Canyon Skywalk earlier this week
- As many as a dozen people die at the Grand Canyon each year
- According to government records, it's the deadliest of America's national parks
A man fell to his death at the Grand Canyon Skywalk earlier this week, as the Grand Canyon National Park was recently named the deadliest of America's 63 national parks.
The unidentified man, 33, went over the edge of the Sky Walk the morning of June 5, falling 4,000 feet down to his death.
Search and rescue teams from the Mohave County Sheriff's Office used ropes and a helicopter to try and help the fallen man.
Crews pronounced the man dead at the scene and transferred him to the Hualapai Nation, who operate the attraction.
It's not clear if the victim fell from the edge of the canyon or from the Skywalk structure itself, though the county search and rescue team posted a link to a suicide prevention hotline on Facebook.
