Who: 62-year-old B. Holt Vaughn
Where: Between Mather Point and Pipe Creek Vista, South Rim, Grand Canyon
His mistake: Looks like a simple fall
What happened: A man was visiting the south rim of the Grand Canyon when he somehow fell of the side of a lookout. Other park visitors reported a hiker over the edge and rangers found the lifeless man of the body below.
Park rangers rappelled down to the bottom of the canyon and packaged him for a helicopter recovery. Park rangers are still investigating the incident. Nearly three years ago, a 4-year-old girl fell to her death in the same area. There are on average three visitors who die from falls at the Grand Canyon annually.
