Woman dies after being found unresponsive on Whistler Blackcomb

Both the RCMP and BC Coroners Service are investigating after a woman died on Whistler Blackcomb this morning.

Police say the woman was spotted unresponsive on Blackcomb Mountain by someone who was riding the gondola.

Ski patrollers rushed to the scene and began life-saving measures before transporting her to the base of the mountain and into a waiting ambulance.

Unfortunately, she was declared dead after arriving at a nearby healthcare clinic.
