Rebecca Copeland, 29, was part of a commercial rafting group and had set up camp in a slot canyon along the Colorado River.
The group left from Lees Ferry, which is near the Arizona-Utah border, and made it about 40 miles downstream before setting up their camp. On Wednesday (July 14), heavy rains caused the river to swell and sent frigid water rushing through the canyon. The campsite was washed away, leaving five people injured.
A different commercial rafting group found Copeland s body the next day, along with another person who was reported missing. That person was not hurt.
