Missing boater found dead in Colorado River, 16th fatality at Grand Canyon National Park this year

The body of a missing boater was recovered Tuesday from the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park, the eighth death in the park in less than a month and 16th fatality so far this year.

The latest death is believed to be a 71-year-old man who disappeared while on a private boat trip near Lower Nankoweap Camp along the Colorado River, the National Park Service said.

The man’s group called the park’s communications center late Monday and reported him missing.

Park rangers used a helicopter Tuesday to locate the body about 10 miles downstream.

The man’s name and hometown weren’t immediately released.

The National Park Service and the Coconino County medical examiner’s office are investigating the death.

Officials are also investigating the death of Patrick Horton, a 59-year-old resident of Salida, Colorado, after members of his group found him dead over the weekend while on the tenth day of a non-commercial river trip along the Colorado River.

Horton and the boater found Tuesday are believed to be the seventh and eight people to die in the park in less than a month. The death of the missing boater is believed to be the 16th fatality at the popular tourist destination so far this year.

Park officials reported 11 fatalities in 2023 and said there are usually about 10 to 15 deaths per year.

A 20-year-old New Mexico woman was found Aug. 8 below Twin Overlooks; a 43-year-old Missouri man died Aug. 1 while attempting a prohibited BASE jump from Yavapai Point; and a 20-year-old North Carolina man fell to his death July 31 at the South Rim.

Compton didn't warn local business owners about Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us' video shoot: report

Compton didn't warn local business owners about Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us' video shoot: report

Several small business owners in Compton had no idea that a rap superstar was filming the music video for America’s No. 1 song back in June, and it wound up costing them thousands of dollars, according to a report.

Kendrick Lamar filmed the music video for his scathing diss track directed at Drake, titled “Not Like Us” on June 22 in his proud hometown of Compton.

The problem was, according to a report from the Los Angeles Times, that local business owners weren’t informed of the plans.

Corina Pleasant, who runs Compton soul food restaurant Alma’s Place with her mother, told the Times that she noticed that no customers were in the restaurant an hour after opening on the day of the filming — despite the fact that the parking lot shared with other businesses was packed.

She later learned that the cars in the lot weren’t there to support the small businesses, but rather for fans of Lamar to try to catch a glimpse of the rapper, who was filming the video outside the nearby courthouse.

Pleasant and other business owners blame the city of Compton for failing to notify business owners that the massive shoot was taking place that day.

“I’m just running everything and making no money,” she told The Times. “I literally was there for nothing, because the little money that I did make, I had to pay my staff with that.”

She estimated that she lost somewhere around $2,000 that day. Other business owners had similar experiences.

“The people who suffer are the small businesses,” Adelfo Antonio Garcia, a co-owner of Sunny Express Gourmet Fast Food, said in Spanish, according to the L.A. Times. He said customers still believe the restaurant is closed on Saturdays due to the ordeal.

Pleasant said she closed up Alma’s Place early that day. If she knew about the music video’s filming ahead of time, she would have closed for the day or set up a pop-up tent outside.

A spokesperson for the city of Compton told The Times in a statement that better communication will be relayed to business owners in the future.

“Businesses in Compton, especially small businesses, are the backbone of our city,” the statement said. “We want to continue to keep an open line of communication and do everything we can to support economic growth.”

Better communication likely would have helped Alma Pleasant save some of her money, she said at a city council meeting.

“I’m here because three things affected me on Saturday,” she said during public comment. “And when those three things affect me, I’m coming in full force. One, my kids. Two, my money. Three, my food.”
