A 70-year-old woman fell about 200 feet (61 meters) over the rim, the second over-the-edge death this month within the confines of the park, according to Grand Canyon officials.
The woman had been walking about 200 to 300 feet (61 to 91 meters) off a trail along the South Rim about a mile (1.6 kilometers) east of Mather Point. Park rangers got a call just after 1 p.m. that she needed help west of a popular overlook called Pipe Creek Vista.
"She fell before we could undertake a rescue," said Grand Canyon spokesman John Quinley, adding that the circumstances of the call for help were unclear. Quinley said the woman fell between Mather Point and the starting point for the South Kaibab Trail, two well-known and highly visited places at the park's more popular South Rim.
The park's helicopter and rescue team recovered the body.

People are stupid. It’s not that hard to avoid falling into a canyon. Why a 70 year old woman is wandering off the path is beyond me.

Don't know why these deaths are news. They're very common in the GC.

Fill it in. People are stoopid, so we must over-compensate.

You guys see how they’re forcing this liberal propaganda down our throats.
No thank you.

There really aren't that many "paths" at the south rim from what I saw. You can walk off these paths and still be perfectly safe. For some reason people assume that since they're in a park that they're safe

Pandering to immigrants.
They need to get out their calculators and assimilate to imperial.

I've been twice. From what I was told it's usually people trying to get that perfect photo.
