Florida Woman Snaps Selfir at Grand Canyon, Dies Soon After
A Florida woman named Colleen Burns tragically plummeted to her death on Friday while hiking the Grand Canyon, not long after sharing a photo of herself at the iconic national park.
She was 35 years old.
The story has gone viral because Burns was with family and friends near the South Kaibab Trail when she slipped off an edge at Ooh Aah Point and fell 400 feet to her death.
Just a short time prior to this horrible accident, Burns had snapped a selfie on the edge of a cliff.
You can see it here:
According to The Associated Press, park rangers discovered Burns’ corpse at the base of the cliff from where she snapped the photo above.
Very sad stuff.
“That view tho,” she captioned the now-morbid photograph.
The Coconino County Medical Examiner and the National Park Service are looking into the incident.
It’s very safe to assume, however, that this was simply a tragic mistake.
“She was just, like, stepping out of the way for another gentleman to, kind of, squeeze in,” Jessica Roman, a friend who was there with Burns, told a local news station.
“Unfortunately, Colleen just kind of got tripped up on her own feet and fell backwards. She fell into the canyon.”
Roman added:
“That was the longest, strangest, craziest two seconds of my life. Those last two seconds where everyone changed are so minute in comparison to all the memories I have with her.”
Burns worked as a regional marketing director for Yelp in Orlando.
She was well known in her community. And clearly beloved.
“I feel taken apart by the news of Colleen’s passing. I’m feeling what I’m guessing you are: numb and then such sadness,” wrote local deejay Kaskade on Facebook.
May she rest in peace.
