Wang died later of her injuries.

The park agency said that the mist trail where Wang was killed was closed during this time of the year due to "icy and dangerous conditions", and that the area was designated as such.

"The closure of the path is clearly indicated and there is a door reminding the closure to visitors." Wang ignored the signs, bypassed the door and the incident occurred on the trail leading to Vernal Fall. said officials.
