The second victim of flash floods that struck the Grand Canyon at the weekend has been named as Brent Rosenkranz, a 42-year-old father of three from Granbury, Texas, as rescuers continue to search for a third hiker still unaccounted for. His wife, Elisha Rosenkranz, confirmed his death on social media on Monday, and the National Park Service verified on Tuesday that his body had been recovered, alongside that of 46-year-old chiropractor John Giusti, also from Granbury. The floods, which struck around 2.30pm on Saturday, swept hikers and backpackers from trails near the Colorado River, prompting a large-scale rescue operation.

Search crews using night vision equipment rescued 45 people by sunset on Saturday and a further 37 the following day, with officials initially fearing up to 15 people remained unaccounted for before narrowing this to a single missing hiker. That man is believed to be 53-year-old pilot Timothy Smith, who was hiking with Rosenkranz and Giusti and whose family has had no contact with him since the disaster. Rosenkranz, married for 21 years and co-founder of a martial arts school in Granbury, was remembered by his wife as her "balance", while fundraisers have been launched to support both families with funeral costs.
