Investigators say there is no evidence to suggest anything but an accident in the death of a 20-year-old North Carolina man who fell from the rim of the Grand Canyon, Wednesday.

Park Rangers located the body of Abel Joseph Mejia of Hickory, NC, 400 feet below the Pipe Creek Overlook. His family says the Indiana Bible College student had been on a mission trip before visiting the canyon.
