An American tourist's vacation ended tragically after authorities pulled his body from the Zambezi. Officials confirmed that Christopher Erik Daniel Gibbs died after going missing while visiting Zimbabwe initially. Southern Province Commanding Officer Moono Namalongo stated they recovered the forty-nine-year-old deceased male near the danger point at Victoria Falls.

Law enforcement in Livingstone originally got a call from counterparts with the Zimbabwe Republic Police. That tip indicated Gibbs apparently drowned on the Zambian side, where remains supposedly got stuck against a rock in a spot hard for rescuers to reach safely.

Initial checks suggest Gibbs crossed into Zambia after vanishing during his trip through Zimbabwe. Recovery efforts required a massive joint operation utilizing personnel from the local army and air force alongside the fire brigade to finally extract him from the river.

Namalongo noted injuries consistent with falling, but a coroner must verify the specific cause of death through an autopsy. Batoka Mortuary is currently holding the remains while investigators continue looking into exactly how this happened.
