Assistant Mariposa County coroner Andrea Stewart told the Mercury News on Monday that Conner died of head injuries at Emerald Pool.
Officials say Conner apparently slipped down Silver Apron, a large, sloping granite area above Nevada Fall, and suffered a head injury.
Rangers responding to a 911 call arrived on scene in less than an hour and pulled the man from the water.
Conner's death was first reported by Outside Magazine.

The park didn't issue a press release about the death because of the government shutdown, which began more than two weeks ago.
