The multi-millionaire CEO of a software company tragically died after falling 200 feet while climbing in Zion National Park in Utah.
The National Park Service said Justin Bingham, 40, was rappelling near the exit of the popular Heaps Canyon trail with three others on Oct. 5 when he fell.
More than 50 rescuers from the Zion National Park Technical Search and Rescue Team and the Washington County Sheriff's Office worked to save the beloved father of four.
Bingham was recovered from the steep canyon by a Utah Department of Public Safety helicopter and transported to a heliport near Watchman Campground.
The father, who shared his family life with 60,000 online followers, was pronounced dead before he could be airlifted to hospital.
