The four-year old girl who was injured when an adult fell on top of her on a cross-country ski trail north of Gatineau, Que., last week has died, police said Monday.
The girl was injured on Feb. 22 when she was being pulled in a sled by an adult who was skiing at Nakkertok in Val-des-Monts, a private cross-country ski club popular with families in the region.
They were going down a hill when the girl was injured, MRC des Collines-de-l’Outaouais police said the following day.
Paramedics and firefighters were performing CPR when police arrived. She was eventually taken to Ottawa children’s hospital CHEO.
Local police said Monday Ontario’s coroner is investigating.
This death comes about two weeks after a 13-year-old girl was fatally injured when her clothing got caught on a chairlift while she was downhill skiing at a nearby resort.
