NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C. — A 17-year-old from Ontario who was about to start his studies at the University of British Columbia is dead after climbing over a fence and falling off a cliff in a popular Metro Vancouver park.
North Vancouver assistant fire chief Dwayne Derban said the boy was with three friends in an off-trail area of Lynn Canyon Park when it happened Sunday afternoon.
But Derban said the teen's friends told firefighters that he had climbed over the fence to get a better view of the river canyon and he"just got too close" to the edge. The teen had been enrolled at the University of British Columbia, where the new semester starts next week.
