Officials have confirmed the discovery of a man’s body in Grand Canyon National Park. The individual had been traveling on a wooden raft along the Colorado River when the tragic incident occurred.
Thomas Robinson, a 58-year-old man from Santa Fe, New Mexico, allegedly tried to navigate the Colorado River on a wooden raft with his dog. However, he abandoned the vessel at Lees Ferry, a few miles south of Arizona’s border with Utah, as per a statement from the National Park Service.
On Friday, National Park Service personnel received a report of a body discovered in the Colorado River, specifically near river mile 6.
Park rangers promptly responded to the scene and successfully located and retrieved the body. The body was then transported to Lees Ferry and subsequently transferred to the Coconino County Medical Examiner’s Office for further examination. While the official identification is yet to be confirmed by the Coconino County Medical Examiner, initial information suggests that the body belongs to the missing individual, Thomas L. Robison.
The exact details surrounding Robinson’s potential cause of death remain a mystery, and the investigation into his passing is still underway. Furthermore, there is no information available regarding the dog’s whereabouts or its survival status.
Park officials have stated that no further details about this case will be provided at the moment.
