Texas man dies after falling off Grand Canyon rim

By: Ed Payne

John N. Anderson from Grapevine was visiting the Grand Canyon with his  family, Saturday morning when he fell about 350 feet. He wasn't trying to get a cool picture or anything, he had just fell said his sister-in-law. The park rangers was not able to resuscitate him.

This is a sad but crazy accident. How does someone just fall off the Grand Canyon. I have a feeling someone or something pushed him off. It affects me because if I was ever to go to the Grand Canyon I would be scared to go near the end.
