A base jumper killed in a fall in the U.S. near the Grand Canyon has been identified as a 41-year-old surgeon from Calgary.

The Coconino County Sheriff's Office says the body of Dr. David Stather was recovered Saturday after two fellow jumpers reported him missing late Friday.

The office says Stather was wearing a wing suit and his body was found on a canyon ledge.

Det. Pat Barr says the jumpers who reported him missing had been waiting for him at the bottom.
