The multimillionaire CEO of a software company tragically died after falling 200 feet while climbing in Utah's Zion National Park.
Justin Bingham, 40, was rappelling near the exit of the popular Heaps Canyon trail with three other people on Oct. 5 when he fell, the National Park Service said.
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 extracted from the steep gorge by a Utah Department of Public Safety helicopter and transported to a helipad near Camp Watchman.
The father – who shared his family life with 60,000 followers online – was pronounced dead before he could be transported by air ambulance to a hospital.

His technology company, Opiniion, said in a statement following his tragic death: “Justin was involved in a tragic accident while enjoying one of his greatest passions: exploring the outdoors.
'Justin was a visionary who believed in the power of genuine connections, both with our customers and within our team.
'His commitment to building meaningful relationships had a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. We will greatly miss Justin's spirit of adventure and dedication to living life to the fullest.
The other three canyoneers with Bingham were rescued the next morning. Two were extracted by helicopter and the third was helped to rappel down the canyon.
Justin and Lindsay have documented their lives as a family of six and the story of their son Landon, who has cerebral palsy, on their YouTube channel called Life in Holland.
