A 36-year-old man who was caught in an avalanche near Golden, B.C., on Feb. 9 has now died. A news release from RCMP says the unnamed victim was being treated in a Calgary hospital but could not be saved. The BC Coroners Service has taken over the case and police say they will assist with the investigation. The announcement of the death comes as the Ministry of Public Safety repeats a warning of caution about going into B.C. The ministry says a series of winter storms since the start of the year has created a complex snowpack with considerable risk of natural and human-caused avalanches.
