A 60-year-old hiker from North Carolina was found dead in Grand Canyon National Park, marking the sixth death in the park this month.
The hiker was on a multi-day backpacking trip and failed to check in with family, leading to a search effort.
His body was located by search-and-rescue crews on Wednesday in a remote area of the park, along a route connecting Lower Tapeats Camp and Deer Creek Camp.
The National Park Service is investigating the incident, working with the medical examiner to determine the cause of death.
