Officers with the Powerview branch responded to a report of a sudden death on Monday at approximately 12:20 a.m. They said a thunderstorm, producing strong winds, may have contributed to a large tree falling onto a tent. The two occupants, a male and a female, were sleeping inside.

Officials said nearby campers heard the female occupant calling for help and came to her aid. She was not physically injured.

The 60-year-old male occupant was pronounced dead on the scene.

RCMP continue to investigate along with the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
