SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A man who drove his rental car to an overlook at Grand Canyon and plunged hundreds of feet off a cliff was identified today.
He was 44-year-old Mihaly Szabo (Michael Zuabo) of Ypsilanti, Mich.
Rangers were trying to determine how Szabo ended up 300 feet below the south rim of the Grand Canyon near a picnic area.
Snow and ice covers the ground there.
A helicopter crew recovered Szabo's body with a winch yesterday.
His unattended rental car was first spotted at the Buggeln picnic area on Wednesday.
A search turned up a chair, camera and other items of Szabo's at a nearby view point.
Autopsy results were pending.
