Two people plunged about 380 feet to their deaths from a popular lookout spot at Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah, authorities said Tuesday, the day their bodies were recovered.
It was unclear what had led to their falls or how long their bodies had been there, but the two, a man and a woman, appeared to have climbed over a safety railing atop Inspiration Point, said Wade Mathews, a spokesperson for the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office.
Officials identified them as Matthew Nannen, 45, and Bailee Crane, 58. They said the two had been living in a U-Haul truck at the time of their deaths and their last known address was in Florida.
