20-year-old Selkirk College student dies in ski ramp mishap

In the early hours of Nov. 25, a 20-year old male student from Selkirk College was using a temporary ski ramp that he and a friend had constructed for their own use. 

The young male, while using the ramp, fell and struck his head — he was not wearing a helmet.

Although he was injured by the incident, the young male did not seek medical attention.  Later that morning the male returned to his home, but a few hours later was found in medical distress and transported to the local hospital. 

Because of the seriousness of his injuries, the young male was transported to Kelowna Hospital where he succumbed to injuries. 

This is a coroner case.
