Last photo of woman who fell off the Grand Canyon and died

This is the last image posted on social media by a woman who fell 400 feet off the Grand Canyon and died.

Colleen Burns posted the picture on Instagram with the caption ‘that view tho’.

The 35-year-old from Orlando, Florida was on a hiking trail with friends when she lost her footing and fell.

Park rangers found her body about 400 feet below, according to the Grand Canyon National Park Service.

Jessica Roman, a friend who was on holiday with Burns, told Wesh: ‘She was stepping out of the way for another gentleman to kind of squeeze in, and unfortunately, Colleen kind of got tripped up on her own feet and fell backwards, fell into the canyon.

‘That was the longest, strangest, craziest two seconds of my life.

‘Those last two seconds where everything changed are so minute in comparison to all the memories I have with her.’

Since her death, mourners have posted messages of condolence on the Instagram photo.

Friends of Ms Burns, a marketing director for Yelp, have gathered in Florida to pay tribute to her.
