New York, Oct 30 (IBNS): In a tragic incident, an Indian couple, settled in the United States, died after falling 800 feet in an area with steep terrain in California's Yosemite National Park this week, media reports said.

Vishnu Viswanath, 29, and Meenakshi Moorthy, 30, had their fatal fall at Taft Point in Yosemite National Park.

They were identified on Monday as a married couple from India.

According to reports, the couple had recently moved from New York after Vishnu Viswanath took a job as a systems engineer at Cisco, based in San Jose.

The couple's bodies were recovered on the steep terrain on Thursday below Taft Point by rangers.

The site is a very popular tourist destination.

Visitors had spotted the bodies a day earlier.
