It is reported perhaps by the American Alpine Club that Sean Leary did not survive a jump in Zion Park. He established speed records with Alex Honnold, climbed in Patagonia and on Baffin Island and was part of Sender Films. Condolences to his family.

Correction: The article said "near" Zion; it's illegal to BASE jump in Zion N.P.

Says the body was located below West Temple, which is definitely in the park.
