Another Inner Canyon Death Reported
Around 6:30 p.m. on August 28th, 2008, a commercial raft trip called to report a 62 year old male had fallen about 70 feet and had suffered serious injuries. The group was located 1 1/2 miles up along Stone Creek (near river mile marker 132 - less than two river miles south of the Lower Tapeats camp sites). A flight medic was dropped off in close proximity and a night flight rescue helicopter was being brought in, but upon arrival the medic informed the rescue team that the man had succumbed to the fall. The body was recovered via helicopter long-line operation the next day. The victim's name has not yet been released.
