The CEO of a Utah-based software company dies after a 200-foot fall in Zion National Park

The CEO of a Utah-based software company tragically died over the weekend after falling 200 feet while climbing in Zion National Park in Springdale, Utah, officials said.

Justin Bingham, 40, was canyoneering near the exit of Heaps Canyon around 6 p.m. local time on Saturday and fell about 150 to 200 feet, the National Parks Service (NPS) confirmed in a statement.

NPS said he was with three other climbers and they all followed their permitted route.

After receiving the report of the fall, the Zion National Park Technical Search and Rescue Team and the Washington County Sheriff's Office arrived at the scene and provided emergency medical care.

“Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the family and friends during this unimaginably difficult time,” said Jeff Bradybaugh, superintendent of Zion National Park.
