A 55-year-old man is dead after getting trapped underneath a snowmobile near Deer Lake. RCMP were called at approximately 1:45 p.m. on Tuesday (march 4). A group of snowmobilers were traveling together in a remote area near Angus Lake. One of the riders ended up in a brook, trapped underneath his snowmobile. The unresponsive man was removed from the water by his friends who administered countless rounds of CPR. Efforts to revive the man were unsuccessful. Deer Lake Search and Rescue was engaged, along with the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC). The man’s body was taken to Western Memorial Regional Hospital in Corner Brook. He was pronounced deceased during his transport to the hospital by a medical professional onboard the aircraft. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is involved in the investigation. This is the second snowmobile fatality in this region since Friday. A 66-year old man who was travelling alone died after being trapped underneath his snowmobile last Friday.
