Selkirk student dies from fall off ski jump
By The Nelson Daily Sports
Last week, in the early hours of November 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. At the time of the fall the student 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.
The incident has been referred to the Coroner. As such, Nelson Police will not be releasing any further details.
Anyone with further questions, please contact the Acting Regional Coroner Chico Newell at (250) 861-7429.
