Zion National Park ended their search for Tucson resident Jetal Agnihotri, 29, after she was found in the Virgin River near the Court of the Patriarchs and later pronounced dead by a medical examiner on Monday.

Agnihotri's family contacted the National Park Service late Friday evening claiming that she was overdue from a trip to the Narrows, the service said.
"Our deepest sympathy goes out to the friends and family of Jetal Agnihotri," said Jeff Bradybaugh, superintendent at Zion National Park.More than 170 responders contributed to search and rescue operations during a four-day period.
