The 63-year-old man from San Diego appears to have had a professional coronary heart assault, in keeping with the National Park Service.
A hiker became unresponsive at Zion National Park on Friday and later reported being useless, consistent with the National Park Service.
The 63-year-old guy from San Diego was placed on the West Rim Trail close to Scout Lookout after park rangers received a document of an unresponsive hiker in the afternoon.
Rangers hiked to the individual with a medical system, collectively with an automated outside defibrillator (AED) and a coronary heart reveal. Visitors with emergency medical schooling have been appearing for cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the person since the rangers arrived.
“After nearly an hour and a half of administering CPR, remedying with the AED, and checking their situation with the coronary heart reveal, the park consulted with a medical doctor (scientific manipulation), and the affected person was mentioned dead,” the NPS said in a news launch.
The hiker, who has now not been diagnosed by the government, appears to have had a heart attack, consistent with the NPS. His motive of loss of life is under research via the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, the Utah Office of the Medical Examiner, and the NPS.
“All people at Zion extend our deepest condolences to this hiker’s circle of relatives,” said Jeff Bradybaugh, superintendent for Zion National Park. “We also want to express our thanks to the bystanders who assisted with the aid of CPR.”
The effort concerned over 20 search and rescue team members, emergency clinical technicians, paramedics, and the park’s ambulance.
The West Rim Trail was reopened after it closed for rescue operations.
