A tourist from Macao fell to his death from the Grand Canyon in the US while he was taking pictures.

The tourist slipped and fell to his death from a lookout while taking pictures near the rim at Eagle Point, reports Xinhua news agency.

The Eagle Point is a remote site best known for the Skywalk, a horse-shoe shaped glass bridge that juts out from the canyon wall. Signs at Eagle Point warn tourists not to get too close to the edge.

The Grand Canyon in the state of Arizona is famous for its steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado river.
