(WHDH) — The recovery of a man’s body who died after falling off a cliff while taking pictures also led to the discovery of additional human remains, officials said.
Emergency crews responding to a report of a person who had fallen off a cliff overlooking the Colorado River at the Glen Canyon Dam Overlook near Page, Arizona around 9 a.m. learned from witnesses that 25-year-old Orlando Serrano-Arzola of Phoenix, was taking pictures when he fell about 100 feet and then slid another 150 feet, according to the National Park Service.
A Coconino County sheriff’s deputy rappelled to Serrano-Arzola and confirmed that he was dead.
The victim was transported to the Medical Examiner’s Office in Flagstaff for an autopsy.
While recovering Serrano-Arzola’s body, authorities also discovered bones that were determined to be human remains, the National Park Service said.
Investigations into both incidents are underway.
