MOHAVE COUNTY (KTNV) — A man is dead after authorities said he "went over the edge" of the Grand Canyon Skywalk.
According to the Mohave County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue Team, this happened last week.
Officials said a 33-year-old man went over the edge around 9 a.m. on June 5th and fell about 4,000 feet. The sheriff's office said two rope specialists responded to the scene as well as a Kingman DPS Ranger helicopter.
Authorities said the man was pronounced dead, taken to the command post, and transferred to the Hualapai Nation.
As of Saturday morning, no further details have been released but authorities said they have launched an investigation into the man's death.
The Skywalk is operated by the Hualapai Tribe and located about two hours east of Las Vegas. The horseshoe-shaped cantilever bridge opened as a tourist attraction in 2007.
