It marks the third fatal fall at the popular tourist attraction in less than a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The accident was first reported at 1:05 p.m. on Tuesday when National Park rangers were called to a person needing help at Rocky Point, which is west of Pipe Creek Vista on the South Rim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Before a rescue effort could be undertaken, the person fell,&#8221; the park said in a news release. Using a park helicopter and a technical rescue team, they located the woman&#8217;s body about 200 feet (61 meters) below the rim).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The victim was identified as a 70-year-old woman, but her name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin. Details about the circumstances of the accident were not immediately known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It marks the third fatal fall at the Grand Canyon in less than a month. A 67-year-old man from California was killed on April 3 when he fell over a ledge on the South Rim, and on March 28, a tourist from Hong Kong fell to his death while taking photos at an overlook on the Hualapai reservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Park staff encourages all visitors to have a safe visit by staying on designated trails and walkways, always keeping a safe distance from the edge of the rim and staying behind railings and fences at overlooks,&#8221; the park said in Tuesday&#8217;s statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An elderly woman has fallen to her death while visiting the Grand Canyon in Arizona, local officials say.
