US EditionHow did cat survive apparent fall from 380-foot cliff in Bryce Canyon that killed 2 people?
- Matthew Nannen, 45, and Bailee Crane, 58, fell approximately 380 feet from Inspiration Point at Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah on April 29, resulting in their deaths.
- Authorities believe the couple climbed over a railing at the overlook and entered unsafe terrain before their fatal fall while living out of a U-Haul truck.
- Their female cat, estimated to be about 12 years old and later named Mirage, survived the fall and was found inside a dirty, torn soft-sided carrier near the bodies.
- Best Friends Animal Society reported the cat was matted, sore, eating and drinking on her own, and 'safe and sound' under veterinary care with X-rays pending to check for injuries.
- The incident illustrates cats’ ability to survive large falls due to weight distribution and terminal velocity, while the couple’s deaths highlight risks of bypassing park safety barriers.
