GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, AZ — Authorities say a person who was reported as missing at the Grand Canyon National Park last month has been found dead.

Park officials were asking for the public's help in locating 26-year-old Sandarsh Krishna, who was last known to be in the park.

Krishna was last believed to be along the Rim Trail along Hermit Road between Bright Angel Lodge and Mohave Point between 4 p.m. on April 27 and 12 a.m. on April 28.

His backpack was turned in by a Good Samaritan that day.

On Saturday, May 9, crews recovered a body below the rim near Verkamp’s Visitor Center on the South Rim. 

The body was later identified as Krishna.

The Coconino County Medical Examiner is investigating the cause of Krishna’s death.
