Three perish in B.C. helicopter crash

VANCOUVER — RCMP confirmed that a pilot and two passengers died in a helicopter crash on the Nelson Glacier in northern B.C. Sunday.

The helicopter, owned by Vancouver Island Helicopter Ltd., was reportedly on a geological mission when it crashed at an elevation of 5,100 feet.

The company attended the area and transported RCMP members to the crash site, where late today it was confirmed that a pilot and two client passengers had perished in the crash," said Cpl. Dan Moskaluk Sunday evening.

Names of the deceased will not be released until next-of-kin have been notified.

The crash took place near Stewart, which is about 160 kilometres north of Prince Rupert.

Stewart RCMP will assist the B.C. Coroners Service and Transport Canada, the lead agency in the investigation to determine the cause of the crash.
