GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Ariz. | The body of a hiker recovered from a remote area on the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park has been identified as a Kansas man.

Authorities said Thursday that 30-year-old Gavin C. Smith, of Lawrence, likely suffered a heat-related death.

The National Park Service received a call Tuesday night about a body being found near the Lava Falls Route, a rugged and remote hiker's trail in the Tuweep area.

Authorities say Smith was among five men who went on a day hike Tuesday. He felt fatigued and was running low on water so he turned around to hike out. His body was recovered Wednesday and taken to the Mohave County
