The number of deaths at the Grand Canyon this year already is above the annual average of 12. Eighteen people have died at the canyon since Jan. 1, according to authorities, including three on river trips, two who fell over the rim, one in a car accident and several others from natural causes or medical distress. The number includes visitors and residents of Grand Canyon Village.
Since the canyon became a national park in 1919, the number is 653 people -- but not all of them died in the park, because the canyon extends well beyond the park boundaries to the Navajo, Havasupai and Hualapai Indian reservations and Lake Mead Recreational Area.
