Yelp Executive Dies After Falling Into Grand Canyon


Welp, I'm guessing she would have given the place a bad review. Story out of Grand Canyon, Arizona:

Colleen Burns, 35, was hiking along the trails of the Arizona tourist destination on Friday when friends say she fell about 400 feet.

Burns has worked for Yelp in a variety of positions since 2009. She was the company's Southeast regional marketing director at the time of her death.

The company said in a statement that Burns "launched the Yelp community in Orlando nearly seven years ago" and "her passing represents a tremendous loss to our company, the communities she supported and the many friends she made while doing what she loved."

Jessica Roman, a friend of Burns who was with her at the time of her death, described the incident to Orlando news station WESH on Monday night.

"She was stepping out of the way for another gentleman to squeeze in, and unfortunately Colleen just kind of got tripped up on her own feet and fell backward," Roman said.  Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
