Texas man is one of several deaths at Grand Canyon in 2024

The Texas man who died Sunday is at least the fourth reported death at the Grand Canyon so far this year.

In June, a 41-year-old hiker was found dead not far from where he camped overnight in the bottom of the canyon and a 69-year-old man collapsed and died on the trail in high temperatures.

In May, park rangers found the body appearing to belong to a 58-year-old who went missing with his dog traveling down the Colorado River at the Grand Canyon.

Grand Canyon has most reported deaths of any national park

Approximately a dozen people die at the Grand Canyon every year. In total, there have been 198 deaths in Grand Canyon National Park since 2007, according to the National Park Service. 

While the total number may seem alarming, they make up a small fraction of the 77.9 million people who have visited in the same time frame. For example, pedestrian deaths in traffic accidents are much more frequent than dying in a national park.

The three most common causes of death at the Grand Canyon are falling, medical (not during physical activity) and suicide.
