North Vancouver RCMP say an 12-year-old was injured and later died during a skiing accident, but did not specify the nature of the accident.
North Vancouver RCMP say a child has died after a skiing accident on a local mountain.
Police say they were called to Mount Seymour at about 8 p.m. Saturday for reports of a seriously injured 12-year-old.
RCMP say the child was injured during a ski accident, but did not specify the nature of the accident.
Earlier in the day, they had previously stated the child was 12-years-old.
Paramedics took the child to BC Children’s Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
BC Coroners Service is now investigating and says they cannot provide further details at this time.
The child’s death comes less than a day after Duncan/North Cowichan RCMP revealed that a six-year-old had died at a motel on Vancouver Island.
