PORTLAND, Maine – An investigation into the death of a skier from Nova Scotia who crashed into a tree at the Sugarloaf resort in Maine and died on the way to hospital says he received quality medical care.
The report also concludes disciplinary action isn’t warranted against any of the emergency responders.
Maine Emergency Medical Services released a five-page report yesterday of its investigation into the January 12th death of 41-year-old David Morse of Harmony.
The investigation was initiated after Morse’s wife complained that he wasn’t provided proper medical care.
The emergency agency’s director, Jay Bradshaw, says investigators interviewed a dozen people, reviewed medical and emergency response reports and listened to audio recordings from the hospital and the sheriff’s department.
He says it was concluded that the care provided was high-quality care and consistent with EMS protocols.
The Morses and their two children were on vacation at Sugarloaf when David Morse caught an edge on his skis and struck a tree.
