An 18-year-old male from Maple Ridge in British Columbia has passed away in a tragic incident that arose after he fell off a chairlift at the popular Cypress Mountain.
The accident took place at the famous ski resort that is located northwest of Vancouver during the evening hours on January 15.
{img}Emergency responders were seen rushing to the scene, and that's where they found the young individual in a state of medical distress.
He was later pronounced dead at this location before he could be shifted to a hospital.
{img}Local cops described the incident as a very devastating one. Investigators, including those in the West Vancouver Police Department, have shared that there were no signs of mechanical or technical failure in sight that could be traced to the chairlift alone.
Available evidence also suggested that the fall did not take place due to any malfunction of this lift system. Due to this, the case was turned over to the coroner's office for a more detailed examination of what happened.
