Mounties say a man from Quebec has died while snowmobiling in southeast B.C.
According to the Revelstoke RCMP, the 27-year-old went missing on Boulder Mountain, near Revelstoke, Saturday evening after he became separated from his group.
The RCMP says the man had tried to radio his location to the group, but adds without GPS or satellite communication, they could not find him in time.
Revelstoke Search and Rescue was deployed and later found the man in “serious medical distress” in a remote and steep area on the mountain.
“Sadly, while the man was being rapidly extracted from the location, his condition worsened and he succumbed to his injuries,” said Corp. James Grandy in a release.
Police say they’re not treating the man’s death as suspicious.
