One body is found and 15 people remain missing after a Grand Canyon flood

The body of one man was found near the Colorado River after a flash flood at Bright Angel Creek in Grand Canyon National Park, in Arizona. Fifteen other people remained missing. The flood site is named as Bright Angel Creek. The park is the Grand Canyon.

A flash flood is a sudden rise of water, often in a canyon drainage. The report ties the death and the missing people to that flood. It does not give the depth of the water. It does not state a cause such as a particular storm cell beyond the flood itself.

One recovered body and 15 missing are different categories. The death is confirmed for one man. The 15 are unaccounted for at the time of this report. No names are published in the short note. No ages are given except that the missing and the dead are described in those counts.

The Colorado River is where the body was found. Bright Angel Creek is the drainage named for the flood. Both are inside the national park in Arizona. The report does not say the entire park was closed. It records the search status.

No total of people who had been in the canyon is given, so the 15 missing cannot be turned into a percentage of a group. The figures stand as one dead and 15 missing. Later searches could change a missing count, but this report stops at those numbers.

The confirmed facts are a flash flood at Bright Angel Creek, one man's body recovered near the Colorado River, and 15 people still missing in Grand Canyon National Park. No further identifications are included. The missing count can change if later searches find people, but this note stops at 15.
