CityNews – A man has died at the Grand Canyon on Saturday after jumping off a five metre cliff into the water followed by another man who collided with him underwater, causing him to loose consciousness, drown and sink 10 metres to the bottom of the water.
On September 10, a group of young men were playing at the second area of water at the Grand Canyon, an area with steep cliffs which sees visitors jumping off into the water almost every day.
25-year-old Hassanai Channa from Lampang jumped from the cliff into the water, but before he surfaced another man jumped into the water in exactly the same place, landing on Hassanai’s head before he surfaced, causing him to pass out then drown underwater.
After Hassanai didn’t surface, other people at the canyon began diving underwater trying to find him, but were unable to due to the poor visibility and sheer depth of the water.
A CCTV video (Khaosod) from a cafe overlooking the water was shared by police to highlight the dangers of the canyon. In the video you can also see a third person jumping into the water after Hassanai had not surfaced, almost hitting the people trying to dive down and save him.
