Human remains were found on the floor of the Black Canyon in Gunnison National Park, according to a Fox News report on the discovery. The outlet said a drone team located the remains after deputies had found an abandoned vehicle on the South Rim.

Fox News's headline described the person as a Denver man found dead at the bottom of the canyon, beneath steep drop-offs. The summary of the report states that the remains were located on the canyon floor, but it does not say when the vehicle was found or when the remains were located.

The Fox News summary does not describe how the man died, and it does not give a cause of death. It also does not provide his name, age, or any other identifying detail beyond the headline's reference to Denver.

The report does not say which agency the deputies belong to, and it does not describe any official statement, investigation, or next step. Fox News's account of the search also does not explain how the drone team was deployed or how long the search lasted.

This account relies solely on the Fox News report and its summary. No other outlet's reporting on the discovery was available for this story, so details beyond those reported by Fox News remain unconfirmed.
