This is the second fatal fall in the park in two weeks.
A 43-year-old man fell to his death while walking in Zion National Park in southern Utah, officials said.
Jason Hartwell, of Draper, Utah, was found at the base of the Angels Landing summit Friday morning, the National Park Service said in a statement.
A search and rescue mission was launched Thursday afternoon following reports from park visitors that a person from Angels Landing had fallen, officials said.
Hartwell sustained an injury ‘in line with a high fall’.
The sheriff of Washington County is investigating.
Normal park operations have since resumed at Angels Landing.
This is the second fatal fall in two weeks in the park. On February 19, park rangers located a body at the base of Moonlight Buttress on the West Rim Trail near Angels Landing while searching for an overdue hiker.
Authorities identified the man as Corbin McMillen, 42, of St. Louis. George, Utah, identified. McMillen had hiked the Angels Landing Trail the previous day, and park rangers began searching for him when he never returned to his car, officials said.
McMillen sustained injuries in line with a high fall, park officials said. The Washington County Sheriff is also investigating the incident.
