Police claim that the man’s home was present when the decision to end life-support work was made. According to researchers, the guy was discovered buried in snow near the top of the hill where it is thought that his poor presence caused him to snow into a pit beneath one of the buildings on the Polar Peak pull. The trap is described as a rectangular sinkhole filled with loose snow that is about 6 by 10 metres ( 20 by 30 feet ) wide. The RCMP and BC Coroner Service continue to investigate.
