ST. GEORGE — The husband of a Florida lawmaker died Wednesday after falling at Bryce Canyon National Park, according to Florida officials.
A statement from Florida’s state Senate said Senate President Kathleen Passidomo and her husband John Passidomo were hiking Monday. The statement did not say where in the park the couple was hiking.
John Passidomo fell and sustained “massive trauma to his head, among other very serious injuries,” the statement said. The Senate said fellow hikers on the trail were the first to reach Passidomo.
He was transported from the trail by ambulance to a local hospital and then flown to a regional trauma center in St. George. He died Wednesday afternoon surrounded by his wife and three daughters. He was 72.
