Castillo is the third person to die at Grand Canyon National Park in the last week. The first was 20-year-old Abel Joseph Mejia of Hickory, N.C., who accidentally fell to his death from the rim near the Pipe Creek Overlook on Wednesday, July 31.

“Mr. Mejia was near the edge of the rim when he suffered an accidental fall,” park service officials said in a statement at the time.

Turning Point Pentecostal Church later announced the 20-year-old had been on a “missions trip” when the “accident” happened.

The day before Mejia’s accident, an unidentified man died after attempting an illegal BASE jump with a parachute from Yavapai Point into the Grand Canyon, according to park service officials.

The man’s body was later found about 500 feet below the rim of the canyon, alongside his opened parachute.

Authorities are investigating the two previous incidents, as well.
