First responders were involved in an unusual, and challenging recovery effort on Signal Hill yesterday.
Officials were called late yesterday afternoon to reports of a man falling from the top of Signal Hill, in the area known as Devil’s Gorge, a deep crevasse familiar to many who hike the walking trail.
Police confirm the man passed away at the scene.
Weather conditions were difficult, with fog and shattered heavy downpours ahead of the arrival of Hurricane Ernesto.
Parks Canada says the North Head Trail will be closed until at least midday today.
