Cat Survives 400-Foot Fall in Utah, Owners Die

A 12-year-old cat named Mirage survived a nearly 400-foot fall at Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah that killed her owners, Matthew Nannen and Bailee Crane. The couple, who had been living out of a U-Haul and traveling from Florida to Utah, reportedly climbed over a railing at Inspiration Point before falling. Mirage was discovered in a soft-sided carrier, suffering from fractured ribs and broken teeth, but is recovering well under veterinary care at the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Staff at the sanctuary described her as friendly and in remarkably good condition considering the circumstances. The sanctuary is currently contacting the couple's extended family to determine Mirage's future. Authorities noted that while the viewpoint is surrounded by railings, no other deaths have been recently reported at the location.
