Officials at Grand Canyon National Park say a 41-year-old man has died while hiking on the Bright Angel Trail.
Early yesterday morning rangers received a call about an unresponsive man about a half-mile from the Pipe Creek River Resthouse near the Colorado River.
The man, who park officials didn’t identify, had been hiking out of the canyon after camping at Bright Angel Campground at Phantom Ranch.
National Park Service personnel and bystanders tried unsuccessfully to revive him.
The Park Service and Coconino County Medical Examiner are conducting an investigation.
