GRAND CANYON, Ariz. – A 53-year-old woman died over the weekend at the Grand Canyon from what officials believe was a heat-related illness.

After USA TODAY and several other outlets reported on her announcement, Pelosi’s spokesman, Drew Hammill, later tweeted, “Clarification on tonight’s meeting of the Steering and Policy Committee.
