Two people died on Sunday after the Grand County Sheriff's Office said a BASE jumping incident happened in a remote area of Mineral Bottom.

Renowned extreme athlete Andy Lewis and a BASE jumping client died in a tandem accident in a remote area of Utah on Sunday, officials said.

BASE jumping around Moab has produced serious injuries and deaths over the years, and past recoveries in Mineral Canyon have been lengthy and technically demanding, according to reporting by KSL. The combination of sheer cliffs, talus slopes and limited road access often forces rescuers to call in aircraft or specialized rope teams for recoveries.
