GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Ariz. — Grand Canyon National Park rangers have recovered the body of a California man who reportedly fell from the South Rim.
Park officials say the body of 18-year-old Luis Gonzales of San Diego was retrieved near the South Kaibab trailhead.
Officials say somebody reported late Saturday that a man had fallen from the rim but that recovery of the body was delayed by steep terrain, snow, ice and darkness until Sunday.
Rangers used a helicopter to reach the site and recover Gonzales’ body Sunday.
The National Park Service and the Coconino County medical examiner are investigating the death.
No additional information was released.
