Body Found Below Abyss Overlook
On Saturday, December 8th, rangers recovered a body that had been spotted by the park’s helicopter pilot while flying a routine mission. The body was located below the Abyss Overlook on Hermit Road (also known as the West Rim Drive). After the body was discovered, two park rangers were flown in to begin an investigation and to prepare the body for transport. At that time, the body was determined to be that of a male of undetermined age. The body was turned over to the Coconino County medical examiner. His identity is not yet known.
