Utah...Woman alone on a trail...Cougar would my guess.
Yeah she is with God. Go be with God.
Utah claims runners, bikers, hikers, climbers on a regular basis. Animal attacks are rare; it’s usually just folks out in the pretty rocks picking a fight with Isaac Newton.

She had a broken leg. No foul play suspected.
One report said her remains were found in the ravine 800’ above the valley floor. That’s a pretty strenuous climb even for a fit person especially if they had already been running for a while.
Looking at the photo of where her body was found, it’s easy to believe that if she was running or trotting, she could have slipped on those rocks and broke her leg with no way to get out and eventually died.
Laying there can’t move with a broken leg then a blizzard moves in.
doesn’t sound like a great way to die.
RIP
It can use something as simple as a sprained ankle to take your life.
Never assume everything will work out OK.
Here’s a YouTube survival story of a runner who fell and broke her leg. Was trapped in a canyon.

A fall like that would definitely jar jar Binks.
