NORTH VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – Mounties say divers hope to recover the body of a young man from the waters of a popular park in North Vancouver on Saturday morning.
Sgt Doug Trousdell with North Vancouver RCMP says crews were called late Friday afternoon after a young man’s body failed to surface in Lynn Canyon.
“North Van RCMP and District of North Vancouver Fire Department were called to a possible drowning in Lynn Canyon, just down stream from the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge.”
Trousdell says the young man’s body is trapped underwater.
The canyon is popular with divers, but Trousdell says he didn’t know what the young man was doing when the accident happened.
Earlier this summer, a video featuring people careening down the canyon’s natural water slide went viral.
It’s not known when the popular bridge will re-open.
