HOOD RIVER, Ore. (AP) — Sheriff’s deputies are investigating the death of a teenage snow boarder on Mount Hood.
The Hood River County sheriff’s office says the ski patrol at Mount Hood Meadows Resort found a 15-year-old boy face down in the snow Wednesday night. He was not wearing a helmet, and efforts to revive him were unsuccessful.
The boy had boarded a ski lift about 25 minutes before his body was found. The sheriff’s office says he was visiting the resort with family members, but there were no witnesses to his death.
An autopsy was scheduled Thursday. Authorities have not released the boy’s name.
