SEDONA, Ariz. (AP) - Yavapai County authorities say a woman apparently has fallen to her death while hiking on Bell Rock near Sedona.
County Sheriff's officials say the body was removed from the hiking area Tuesday and taken to the medical examiner's office for an autopsy.
They say the name of the 28-year-old woman is being withheld until her family can be notified.
Sheriff's officials say they received a 911 call about 3:30 p.m. Monday from the woman who was stuck on the south side of Bell Rock, about five miles south of Sedona.
She told authorities that she was trying to climb down the mountain and was stuck about one-third of the way down.
A helicopter rescue team rappelled to her last known position and spotted her body about 125 feet further down.
