A 33-year-old man died after going over the edge of the Grand Canyon West Sky Walk earlier this month.

The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue responded around 9 a.m. on June 5 to a call about the man who fell into the canyon.

Two Mohave County rope specialists responded and determined the man was dead on scene. The man was extracted to the county’s command post and transferred to the Hualapai Nation, the office said in a Facebook post.

An investigation is ongoing.
