Thursday afternoon, the Grand Canyon Regional
Communications Center received a report that an older woman had fallen over the
edge at Grandview Point on the South Rim. Callers reported that the woman was
not responding to people calling down to her. Upon arrival, emergency
responders determined that the woman had actually fallen from the Grandview
Trail and rescuers began hiking down to her. A short distance down the
trail, they spotted the woman and two other people approximately 300-feet below
where she had fallen from the trail. The two other people, one a relative
of the woman who fell, reported being unable to find a pulse. Rangers
rappelled the remainder of the distance to the woman and began CPR. However, their life-saving efforts proved unsuccessful. The victims name has
not been released.
