A Utah software company executive fell 200 feet to his death while climbing in Zion National Park. Justin Bingham, 40, was canyoneering with three other climbers near the exit of Heaps Canyon when he fell, said the National Parks Service. He was airlifted by helicopter but pronounced dead before he reached the hospital. Bingham was CEO of Opiniion, a property management software company based in Lindon, near Provo. “Justin was a visionary who believed in the power of genuine connections, both with our clients and within our team,” the company said in a statement to Fox Business. “Justin’s spirit of adventure and dedication to living life fully will be deeply missed.” Zion National Park Service officials and the Washington County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the exact cause of the tragedy. “Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with the family and friends during this unimaginably difficult time,” said Zion National Park Superintendent Jeff Bradybaugh.
