Two Trail men die suddenly in separate incidents

RCMP say two Trail men in their 60s have died within a day of each other in separate incidents.

In the first incident early Sunday afternoon, police and paramedics responded to a report of an unconscious 64-year-old man inside a vehicle in a parking lot in the 1100 block of Bay Avenue.

Paramedics tried unsuccessfully for half an hour to revive him. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

While it was initially believed the man suffered a medical incident, the BC Coroners Service is investigating to determine the cause of death.

In the second incident, police were called Monday morning to the 1300 block of Pine Avenue about a 61-year-old man known to be homeless.

The man and a friend were sleeping outside the building. When the friend woke up, she found him unresponsive. She thought he had suffered from a drug overdose overnight.

The friend and a passerby called 911 and tried to revive the man with naloxone and CPR without success. Paramedics tried as well when they arrived, but the man was eventually pronounced dead at the scene.

The BC Coroners Service continues to investigate.

“The street drug supply appears to be frequently toxic to its users, as deaths are an all too common occurrence,” said RCMP Sgt. Mike Wicentowich.
