A tourist from Macau plunged to his death last week after slipping over a ledge at the Grand Canyon while trying to take a selfie.

The man, in his fifties, was traveling with a Hong Kong tour group on a seven-day trip through the western United States. The second day of the tour included a stop at the Grand Canyon West, a popular attraction that includes a skywalk which juts out 4,000 feet above the canyon floor.

According to a Grand Canyon West spokesman, the tourist slipped and fell while taking a photo near the glass bridge. His body was recovered by helicopter 1,000 feet below the rim of the canyon.

Around 12 people die each year at the Grand Canyon, though only two or three from actually falling into the canyon. Heat or dehydration are more common causes of death.
